Transphobic Docudrama: Gender Transformation
I saw an ad for this and red flags went off immediately. So I did some digging and yep I was right. If you see an ad for this documentary, don’t be fooled. It is pure rightwing propaganda
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt27679623/
Apparently the film follows the life of a Trans man, Andrew Elijah Martinez, who committed suicide after he was removed from his mother’s custody following accusations of abuse. Unsurprisingly, it is told from HER PERSPECTIVE ONLY!
It also features interviews with 3 (transphobic) detransitioners including Walt Heyer, owner of the transphobic sexchangeregret website. Despite out numbering them by nearly 2 to 1 No pro-trans detransitioners were included. Similarly, even though they out number them by 99:1, no trans people happy with their transition were interviewed.
You see where this is going? Right?
Be careful this propaganda film is trying to promote itself as even handed when in fact it is a hit piece.
In particular, I would like to point out the irony that the title of the movie is untold realities when the case of Andrew Martinez is exactly that. Every mainstream media account of the story either ignore the allegations of the mother entirely or are heavily biased in her favor.
Andrew’s cousin has a very different account and points out the abuse and all the details that are being intentionally left out:

This is why conservatives hate Tik Tok. They can’t control it. The cousin gave details omitted in every other media account I found. Details that show that his mom was abusive. So much so that he begged not to be sent back. And she literally prevented him from being able to leave foster care to live with his cousin and Aunt.
