A Minnesota woman who previously sued her transgender daughter for transitioning and lost at the District level is now taking her case against the girl's former school and medical provider to the Supreme Court.
Anmarie Calgaro's teenage daughter was declared legally emancipated at 15, before she began receiving hormones and transition support at 17. Despite the emancipation, Calgaro's suit, which insisted upon gendering her child as male, insisted she still had a veto right over her child's medical decisions. Obviously she lost her suit in the district court, whose ruling was upheld by the 8th Circuit on appeal. She's now moving to the Supreme Court level, although her lawsuit apparently no longer names her daughter and instead focuses on the teachers and doctors who supported her transition, along with the county judiciary that granted the emancipation. Her Supreme Court brief, which was filed by the Thomas More Society who is pushing her case, seems to be disputing the legal basis of the concept of emancipation and states' ability to grant it to children, expressing apparent shock that it's actually a thing.
