1 - the estimated actual rate of gender dysphoria that is significant and persists into adulthood is 1/30,000 to 1/110,000 (per the doc discussed being interviewed in the movie)
2 - historically it’s mostly a natal male thing, but the vast majority of kids getting “gender affirming treatment” in this country are females with high rates of autistic and lesbian girls
3- at least 1.5% of the current k-12 age kids in this country “identify” as trans. That’s 1/75. That’s social contagion.
4 - There is no evidence that even those who don’t “regret” their child transitions are somehow better off for it. First, there aren’t any 40-year olds around who transitioned at 5,6,9,10. Second, suicide ideation remains elevated among those who go through with transition, but not among those who go through gender dysphoria stages as kids but ultimately don’t transition. Third, the guaranteed life of sexual dysfunction, chronic health problems, and sterility is one heck of a price for people to pay in exchange for possibly fleeting feelings as a child mostly resulting from TikTok and intentional gender confusion.
5 - The author of this article, while accusing Matt of overlooking a point he didn’t, decided to skim over major aspects of the movie including the fact modern gender ideology had its roots in debunked research performed by a pedophile that raped children and babies and promoted the ideas embraced across much of academia today that life should be about casual sex from cradle to grave, and the hugely negative impact of gender ideology on the bodily safety and access to fair competition for biological girls and women. There were others, I won’t list them all.
5 - The author misquoted the most important line in the whole darn movie, until I pointed it out (see below). That, to me, is an indication of bad intentions. The title of the documentary is “what is a woman?” And the author “accidentally” misquoted the answer? We can’t know the intent of others, but having watched the documentary, it strains credulity to believe this was a genuine critique of the film despite the misquotes and out of context assertions about the film. It seems to me this article is nothing more than a hit piece aimed at those who didn’t watch it, with the objective of keeping them from watching it. You could prove me wrong by watching it and forming your own conclusions.
We encourage everyone to watch the film for themselves and develop their own opinions. That is the only way to build true understanding.
This opinion piece reflects the author’s perspective. We believe that true understanding comes from being open-minded and considering diverse perspectives in the pursuit of objective truth.

Wonderful suggestion! I hope NCMom takes you up on the offer as I find her comments that occur across Substack as informative and intellectually engaging.
Unfortunately we have the highest rate of adults who identify as “transgender.” The vast majority is Raleigh/ Cary (also known as the contaminated area of relocated Yankees) and the campus of UNCG. In the vast majority of the state (outside the major urban areas) someone trying to transition a foster kids might meet a local’s right to bear arms. 😂
Pull up the kiddie vaccine rate on the state dashboard. Greensboro/ Winston and Charlotte vote just as some as Raleigh/ Cary/ Durham, but clearly parents outside the triangle actually have a line...... and it’s well before child genital mutilation and sterilization. Wake county? There is no line. They’d sacrifice their kids to not make it rain or burn their “witch” daughters at the stake or load their neighbors on the trains to the gas chamber. It’s a little scary.
That makes me sad. I too was a liberal until I realized the rest of the “liberals” had lost their minds. I have come to accept a certain percentage of humans will buy whatever 💩 they are fed. My heart doesn’t want to believe it, but my brain accepts the Nazis weren’t all that special and the majority of Germans that followed them not exceptionally evil (even if what they supported was).
Still, I had hoped for the first 30 years of my life that our access to history would allow us as a society to recognize rhyming themes around othering and social contagions and really really cruel ideologies. While this may be the most wide spread attempt, it certainly isn’t the first to castrate boys or genitally mutilate girls. All the people throughout history doing the same evil thing have bought the same lie of virtue as the woke today.
I’m sending good vibes your way sitting here looking out the windows at the fireflies right now. I live in town, but the birds still wake us up at 5am and trees surround the yard and laughing kids fills our home. I hope your home is soon filled with child laughter and I am comforted to know at least one child in CA will be saved from the ideologues of wokeness. 💓
Excellent summary--someone needs to be invited on the FAIR Board NCmom! To your point #3, I was on my FB page the other day (a rare occurrence lately) and saw an old group I no longer follow (but it popped up for some reason) called Grown and Flown. I had to leave that after the 2020 election -- these parents were NUTS! This post was a mom shouting out other moms of trans kids. One mother actually said she was the proud mom of THREE trans kids. WTF is wrong with these people?!
Attention seeking. At least the 3 families I know. They didn’t celebrate their kids until they, after much pressure from their families, declared they were trans. Then they got parties, legal name changes, and LOTS of Facebook posts. It’s part of why I deleted Facebook all together.
Truly insane. Wonder who this will all sort out in the courts (and these cases will go to court) as the law schools churn out even more woke attorneys. Should be an interesting shit show.
This! Thank you! Substance over Emotion. Someone once said, "True Compassion is doing a DIS- passionate analysis of a topic or a situation. NCMom did that w a little bit of " opinion" at the end. The Author of this Article clearly used a biased mindset and filter to interpret Matt's interview questions in the Documentary. Matt was almost the ONLY one that remained UNEMOTIONAL in the movie. The only exception I can recall was his 60 seconds in front of the school board.
Ok, I’ll offer some actual facts.
1 - the estimated actual rate of gender dysphoria that is significant and persists into adulthood is 1/30,000 to 1/110,000 (per the doc discussed being interviewed in the movie)
2 - historically it’s mostly a natal male thing, but the vast majority of kids getting “gender affirming treatment” in this country are females with high rates of autistic and lesbian girls
3- at least 1.5% of the current k-12 age kids in this country “identify” as trans. That’s 1/75. That’s social contagion.

A whole lot of people are being medically mutilated and made impotent....... really sad.
It is important to acknowledge who is funding this nonsense and why:

ABSOLUTELY! What a heinous use of billions on the back of your hard working parents! I left that awful state and asshat of a governor!
Thank you 🙏

Couldn't agree more! Well said!
Well said!
NCMom, have you got a Substack, are you writing....
I do have a Substack newsletter, but I’m not writing on it right now.
And well done. And thank you.
Thanks, I just saw that - subscribed - maybe I can access there what you have written
