As for slowing advancement of transgender legal rights because too many Americans haven't read the Constitution it wasn't very long ago when gay rights and same sex marriage became law while the majority of Americans of both parties didn't support doing so.

On a somewhat unrelated topic, Nate - do you know about the Aristedes Sousa Mendes Foundation's? He was a Portuguese diplomat in France during WWII who gave Portuguese visas to many to allow them to exit France and go elsewhere via Portugal. After the war, he was stripped of his job and died in poverty because his did the righteous work against the Portuguese government's rules. This is a long intro to what I wanted to say. The Foundation just aired the story of Fred Korematsu who stood up to Japanese internment during WWII. He lost at the Supreme Court then and was sent to a camp. He won his case in the 1980s and received the medal of freedom from Bill Clinton.

The film is Of Civil Wrongs and Rights.
