My brother just recommended this in the family chat and after two seconds googling, it set off a few red flags. CW: likely transphobia
Anyone watch it yet? Thoughts?
It follows a pattern of the sort of stuff my brother is into, it seems. Right-wing pipeline stuff, maybe.
I scrubbed through it without really watching it, just so I had an idea of what it is and could respond if I needed. It’s disingenuous nonsense whose thesis is that trans people are perpetrating some violation of basic humanity, whereas most people have an instinctive understanding of what gender means. The movie uses black people as props too, where the filmmakers went to Africa to get their opinion of trans people using incredibly leading questions. Tightly edited propaganda.
It’s a movie long version of the stupid “basic biology” argument and you’re better off not bothering. The answer given by the movie is that since the question “what is a woman?” has an easy answer in terms of anatomy, or a more complex nuanced answer when considering everything else, the simplest answer is more correct by virtue of being simpler. It’s not even pipeline stuff, this movie was financed by the Daily Wire. It’s just outright fascist.
