"Advil?! Isn't that the same stuff they give serial killers when they have a headache?!"

[magicalgirlmascot]

that one woman saying "breasts are being removed that have never felt a lover's caress" gave me such a visceral disgust reaction I had to pause the video and walk away for a minute. as an asexual, I am intimately familiar with people saying the exact same shit about me and mine, oversexualizing and infantalizing us in the same breath. all queerphobia has the same talking points. it's horrendous.

[johnbrooks]

The audacity for that teacher to say, “No one was identifying that way 5 years ago”. Holy crap, I was in middle school 14 years ago and I was surrounded by nonbinary kids.

[hannahc]

"Mom, you're so not woke" scored by serious music made me laugh out loud. Yeah I'm sure that happened.

[nerdychocobo]

I think another really important thing about that therapist scene is, like you said, the film stuff was made *purely off of abigails point of view*. They didn't talk to andrew at all, and therapy is conducted with discretion! with confidentiality! so, presumably, abigail was NOT told what happened in that therapist room - - it's completely fictional!

[MarlenasFae]

Don't stereotype. Trans people can have bad taste in wigs. We don't all have guidance when our egg cracks🤷🏼

[eshbena]

As a Jew, I have to say I don't know how we can be expected to run all these evil schemes, rule the world, have a family, and also have a day job! It's just way too much pressure. @_@

[Waspinmymind]

Hate abusive parents who go ‘since when where we the bad guys’ as if they didn’t make themselves villains in every interaction.
Constantly making kids walk on eggshells in front of you. Means your kids don’t stick around you as they get older. None of these parents want to own up to that.

[Aogami]

Imagine telling on yourself like this. I'm gonna make a movie about how my kid was taken away by DSS - a notoriously understaffed government body that routinely allows children to stay in abusive homes.

[Chillaxes]

"Ill never be like my brother" sounds more like " my parents will never respect me the way they respect my cis brother"

[andrewjeffreys]

This movie is literally "Am I out of touch? No, it's the children who are wrong."

[opaljk]

The trailer comes off as “children should be obedient and “normal” and they aren’t being obedient OR “normal”! this must go all the way to the top!”

[SarastistheSerpent]

Only part way through the video so far, but as a cis person who was on a puberty blocker as a kid for adrenal hyperplasia in the early 2000s, I must say it’s very suspicious that these people only seem to care about blockers when they’re used to help trans kids, but never cared the last 30 years that they’ve been prescribed to cis kids with endocrine disorders. If they’re so concerned about their potential side effects, why weren’t they protesting and campaigning back in the late 80s when they were first approved as safe?

[invaderskooge]

It frustrates me to no end when people pretend trans and nb people are a new fad. IIRC there’s literally a mythological figure that is neither male nor female who assists Ishtar in Mesopotamian myth, Mesopotamia being the oldest known human civilization.

I went with a friend for their top surgery recently. They had already jumped through flaming hoops to even get scheduled for the surgery, and were reminded (very kindly) about the potential risks at least three times while we were waiting for them to be anesthetized.

Where are people are getting these immediate, free, gender-affirming surgeries?

[AgentofChaos]

"Anti-trans propaganda made by a cult"
Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?

[AlgernontheWizard]

It always blows my mind that people don't realize that the John money study shows the opposite of there point that you can't force someone to be another gender.

[lorenzwinterhoff]

"When did parents become enemy number 1?"

When some parents are their own children's first bullies, that's when.

[romana]

My child is 15 years old, autistic, and nonverbal, and they have clearly and articulately, with their device, declared what gender they are, and how they identify. my child is brilliant and talented and knows who they are.
It makes me so sad and sick to see people treat autistic and trans people as if they don’t know who they are!

[geo-fry]

I swear, people who complain about what’s happening in schools have never stepped foot in a public school in their life. That scene about talking about gender identity on the first day of middle school was freaking hilarious in how bad a portrayal of school it is
