UPDATE: A source with knowledge in the matter has told me that the ACLU is considering sacking its star transgender attorney, Chase Strangio, from leading oral arguments on Dec 4 in U.S. vs. Skrmetti, the Supreme Court case involving Tennessee’s ban on pediatric sex “change” Rx. According to my source, Strangio is “Not dealing well with the stress, not being sufficiently respectful” of LGBT org veterans, “running their mouth in social media, inexperienced.” The concern on the part of LGBT groups “is that Strangio does not care (and has actually said so) if Bostock [vs. Clayton County, the precedent being invoked by the DOJ/ACLU] gets a haircut that screws gays.” This is still unconfirmed, but I’m told will be reported on (and likely spun) by a prominent transgender activist very soon. Or not, now that I’ve made it public.
I guess there are some quiet bits you can’t say out loud after all.
I wonder if the ACLU is going to step away from their extreme trans advocacy, and maybe stop forcing males onto female teams? It might depend on how much Strangio was leading the charge, or just following orders. I wonder if the (lilkely) loss of donors pissed off by their mission creep has hurt their bottom line at all?
I rather appreciate that he pointed out that the focus on “identity” isn’t an alternative to merit but instead an alternative kind of merit. Shows the true nature of such things.
I don’t think this indicates the former ACLU intends to stop being all trans, all day. I think pulling Strangio just means they want to win the case. Just as a reporter should avoid becoming the story, a lawyer should avoid becoming the plaintiff, and if Strangio enters that courtroom she will end up testifying.

I wonder all that too. I hope someone goes rogue and tells us all.
The ACLU and Planned Parenthood both lost me as a donor over the Transmanian Devil.
