Suppressing the truth, how progressive.

'According to the press release, the documentary examines the risks and side-effects of gender-affirming medication and surgeries and is described as "nuanced, compassionate, deeply researched and mild-mannered."'

'"The filmmakers (some of whom are gay and/or have gay children) are dedicated, life-long, Liberal Democrats," the statement said.
"The film is not anti-trans people, nor is it even anti sex-change surgery; there are trans people in the film speaking against the sudden rush to powerful drugs and major surgeries that [have] increased exponentially in the past decade, and which have statistically caused far more pain and suffering than they've prevented," it added.'

Can't have alternative opinions escaping into the mainstream now. It might show there there is a need to look further than the empty placating words that have been published...

Bizarre times.

Oh that is too bad. I've heard Stephanie Winn speak about this film, and her involvement in it. And if it's anything like Ms Winn's podcasts, which are thoughtful, gently interrogative, and very human and wise, then I imagine it's an excellent film.

You can listen to Ms Winn on her podcast "You must be some kind of therapist" (I subscribe via Apple podcasts)

It's truly frightening how much influence the 'progressives' have on what we are allowed to see/discuss. They have learned well, shout loud, educating oneself is an elitist endeavour

So much for free speech in the "land of the free"! I guess the documentary makers will have to try to get it shown in institutions where the First Amendment applies. The University of Chicago would probably screen it.

Another article on the same story, with some additional details which (if true) suggest that the documentary may not have been in good faith https://www.them.us/story/amc-theatres-no-way-back-documentary

"However, one of the subjects of the movie, Joel Kass, has since disavowed the documentary, as noted by Transgender Map. In a TikTok posted to his account in April, Kass said he was told the documentary would “shed a positive light on informed consent,” which he later discovered it did not. Kass went on to apologize for his participation.
“I would hate to think that something I was a part of could be viewed by a legislator and impractically influence thought-making, decision-making processes, or just scare the shit out of parents of trans kids that come out to them,” he said.
In a later TikTok, Kass added, “I gave very thoughtful, ethical, correct responses to interview questions, and every single thing I said was taken out of context, cut all apart, piecemealed into something that served the agenda of another party entirely.”

Taking interviews from trans people talking about their experiences out of context - especially to push the view that their transition surgery/hormone treatment was more traumatic than in reality or that it gave them permanent medical problems - is a fairly common tactic of anti-trans media groups. Contrapoints' most recent vid is (in part) about her experience contributing to a podcast that was a lot more biased than she thought it was going to be

And (though the facts are a little different from what's alleged here) Samantha Lux (great youtuber, posts a lot of short, very accessible content) posted a video only this week about how footage from her and two other people was manipulated for a vid that ended up being used by Infowars .
