On the Basis of Sex

9/12/19 - Chase Strangio, an activist for trans rights and a staff attorney at the ACLU, talks about the Supreme Court cases that we should all be outraged about. The government wants to redefine the Civil Rights Act to discriminate against transgender Americans, people in queer relationships, and anyone who doesn't fit a tidy definition of male and female. The Court takes up oral arguments on October 8.
