“No Way Back: The Reality of Gender-Affirming Care” was set for initial release on June 21 in dozens of theaters across the country. Producers of the film say AMC caved to the pressure of a de-platforming campaign by a transgender group called the Queer Trans Project, which has not had access to view the full film.
A site for the film describes “No Way Back” as a 90-minute documentary that “cites 45 peer-reviewed medical and journalist articles” and hears from five de-transitioners.
One person in the film, a 26-year-old man named Abel, spoke to The Daily Wire about his transition to female as a teenager and then his de-transition.
“I would tell anyone who wants to transition, especially the young boys who think life would be easier because they are the perfect image of a masculine male, that the transition will not save them. It would actually destroy their lives. Actually, take a step back and think about this for a while. And even if that is what they think they want— the actual negative side effects, nobody will tell you.”
A young woman named Laura took a high dose of testosterone and removed her healthy breasts by way of a double mastectomy before de-transitioning at 22 years old.
“I’m a very vocal advocate of complete bans for transition procedures for minors, both medical and social, because children are not developed,” Laura said. “They do not have the brains or bodies to be able to make long-term decisions about their reproductive and sexual health, and they just are not able to consent to these long-term procedures.”
The Queer Trans project, though, claims the film is “anti-trans” and “perpetuates harmful misinformation.” The group campaigned for allies to send its sample letter to AMC with the goal of de-platforming “No Way Back.”
So here’s the deal:
1. A documentary was made about the reality of detransitioners, backed by medical professionals and multiple detransitioners, who warn of the bad consequences they now live with.
2. Without seeing the movie, a trans group pressured AMC to cancel the movie
3. AMC folded.
4. suffering victims of the consequences of trans ideology were silenced. No compassion by the trans community for those who suffer.
What a horrible group of people who would act to censor peoples lived experiences.
