I heard a really, really weird interview on NPR the other day.
I tuned in and they were talking about Dr. John Money and his evil experiments on David Reimer, one of the first attempts at changing sex through surgery. It's been discussed a lot here but long story short it was a terrible failure, and David ended up committing suicide.
The interview was about a new film called "Every Body" which is a film about intersex people, those 0.00000000000000001% of the population born with genetic defects that cause them to lack genital organs, or have a chromosomal defect, or other reproductive / endocrine problem that makes them neither a normal male nor female.
The interviewer and the guest, the director of the film, both seemed to take an anti-trans position, admitting that Dr. Money's experiment failed and that it was a horrible event (the interviewer Terry Gross actually said "yes in one TV talk show appearance, David looks like he is on the set of a horror film. He is absolutely terrified."
Very bizarre.
I doubt I'll see this film, and when I heard the director's name, Julie Cohen ( of coooooooooooooooourse!) I really second guessed her motives, but who knows, I mean it's a degenerate thing in itself to make a movie on a weird sexual defect, so maybe that's all she's doing.
Anyway, I actually have strong compassion for an intersex person, the same way I would for someone born with missing limbs or down's syndrome, but what is the real point of this film? I can't see the purpose of the general public knowing about this kind of stuff, unless it is to push back against the trans agenda, and I find that very unlikely.
A few choice quotes:
Wow so you can't change your gender with surgery or psychology????!
Um, no. That's like saying "humans aren't really bipedal, there's actually a spectrum because some humans are born able to walk upright with 2 legs, and others are born with missing limbs. " Just because a mutation exists in an animal doesn't mean the fundamental nature of that animal is changed. Hummingbirds are flying mammals, regardless of the fact one out of a billion might be born missing its wings.
So trans surgeries are genital mutilation. Great, let's ban them along with male circumcision immediately.
Maybe this is the only way you can attack the trans ideology? From the left? From the point of view of an intersex by a Jewish feminist filmmaker?
I'm still confused, or maybe just suspicious, but it appears clear that this is an anti-trans film.
Maybe this is just an intersex advocacy film? Pretty tiny group to advocate for.
