Join the Gender Policy Research Program and Women's, Gender, & Sexuality Studies Program for a screening of HEIGHTENED SCRUTINY.
HEIGHTENED SCRUTINY follows Chase Strangio, ACLU attorney and the first out trans person to argue before the Supreme Court, as he fights a high-stakes legal battle to overturn Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth (United States v. Skrmetti).
The film exposes the dangerous role of mainstream media in fueling anti-trans legislation, uncovering how biased coverage drives hate, endangers lives, and threatens democracy itself. With insights from journalists and activists, the story dismantles anti-trans disinformation and highlights its devastating real-world impact.
