Debut Documentary on Gender Reassignment Faces Backlash at University Screening
Activist Mob Shuts Down Screening
A recent screening of the debut documentary, "Damaged," by Chrissy Clark, was forcibly shut down by an activist mob at the University of Utah. The film features young adults who regret their gender reassignment procedures, sparking controversy and protest.
Former Collegiate Athlete Assaulted During Talk
Riley Gaines, a former collegiate athlete and OutKick personality, spoke out against trans women competing against biological women in sports. After giving a talk on the issue, Gaines was physically assaulted by protesters and had to hide behind a locked door for three hours.
No Attack on Trans Community
In an interview with Hollywood in Toto, Clark emphasized that "Damaged" does not attack the trans community. Instead, it gives a platform for young adults who went through gender reassignment procedures to share their stories of regret.
Filmmaker's Background and Motivation
Chrissy Clark, an education reporter, was tapped to create "Damaged" after extensively researching the transgender social contagion in American schools. Despite it being her first documentary, Clark's passion for the subject and dedication to exposing the truth drove her to tackle this complex issue.
Gaining Trust and Challenging Misinformation
Clark faced challenges in finding doctors and activists who were willing to discuss and be interviewed for the film. Many doctors claimed to be experts on child gender dysphoria but were unable to provide adequate answers. The film aims to challenge misinformation spread by medical professionals and provide parents with better information.
The Deception of Reversible Treatments
The film exposes the limited data and misleading claims made by the medical profession regarding the reversibility of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. Clark encourages parents to educate themselves through films like "Damaged" and newsletters like the PITT substack.
Facing Opposition and the Importance of Free Speech
Clark remains undeterred by threats and opposition, believing that fighting for the sanity of future children and a world free from unjust medical care is a just cause. The cancellation of the film at the University of Utah has not stopped Clark from offering to screen the film and engage in debates with activists.
Challenges and Support
Despite backlash, "Damaged" has received an outpouring of support. Clark considers the documentary her most successful project to date.
Encouraging Dialogue and Critical Thinking
Clark wants viewers to understand that "Damaged" does not take a side on transgenderism but rather tells the stories of young people who regret their decisions. The film encourages support for transgender individuals while questioning the accessibility of life-altering drugs for minors.
Future Projects
The Daily Caller recently released another documentary called "Lawless" about the consequences of the "defund the police" movement.
