# Event Details

- **Event Name**: “Heightened Scrutiny” Film Screening and Panel Discussion
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 05 Mar, 2026 at 04:30 pm – Thu, 05 Mar, 2026 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: As LGBTQIA+ rights are being challenged by our authoritarian government and trans youth are being dehumanized and stripped of their autonomy around their own identities, we recognize that the fight for trans rights is part of our fight for collective liberation. The CTU LGBTQIA+ Committee will be joined by ally organizations to provide resources and information for educators and families to better support trans and gender nonconforming youth. 

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion and Q&amp;A. 

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 like Jelani Cobb, Lydia Polgreen, and Gina Chua, and activists like Laverne Cox, the story dismantles anti-trans disinformation and highlights its devastat- ing real-world impact. With the dangerous SCOTUS decision upholding the ban on life- saving healthcare, HEIGHTENED SCRUTINY is an urgent call to action against bigotry and injustice.
