I was quite surprised to see the level of respect this film had for the subjects, at many points reflecting on the sympathy for children suffering with gender identity.
I think what I appreciated most was that these weren't trick questions, the presenter asked very basic and honest questions - the fact that a univeristy professor was unable to answer simple questions in his own field was very telling. It was a running theme that those who wanted honest discussions were being shut down, lose their careers and even faced imprisonment.
Speaking with an African tribe was also an interesting juxtaposition of societal ideals.
My one criticism is that I wish he had not been able to open the jar of pickles.

I'm a Democratic voter but this is a genius documentary
I voted Democrat in 2008, 2012, 2016 and I gotta say that this really makes you wonder what is going on academia, whether professors are failing to teach Classics, Classical Philosophy, logic/rationality, critical thinking, and Biology 101. These gender ideologues seem to base their ideas on things they found on blogs rather than textbooks and actual scientific literature.
There were folks were being deceptive about puberty blockers as if puberty can just be resumed in your 20s or 30s or even 40s without serious health issues. People need to speak up professionally against this and see the truth is being overrun by these ideas.
The documentary is a golden example of the Socrates Method which any educated person would recognize and commend Matt Walsh for and for staying in character to ask simple inquisitive questions that investigative journalists should have already asked long ago but were too afraid of being labeled a "phobe" or "prejudiced" or something.
Just watch it.
An incredibly important and insightful documentary for our time and surprisingly funny at times.
Highly recommended to anyone who is interested in the topic and wants to learn more about how gender has become politicized including what different people from various fields and communities have to say from both sides of the discussion. 10/10.
