Behind the Looking Glass: The first ever documentary about the wives and children of trans-identified men

And some updates about the TERF Report

August 30. 2024

Today at 2:00 p.m. ET, filmmaker Vaishnavi Sundar (featured here in FFS Friday) premiered her film, Behind the Looking Glass. From the description on YouTube:

Behind The Looking Glass is a film about the lives of women whose partners have or want to ‘transition’. While we hear a great deal of “stunning and brave” stories of men, there is a deadly silence when it comes to the stories of the wives or partners. This film will be the first of its kind in collecting such experiences of women from around the world.

You can watch it on the YouTube channel of Lime Soda Films.

It’s a difficult watch, but I highly recommend everyone watch and share it far and wide.

If you have time, check out today’s post from Democrats for an Informed Approach to Gender (DIAG), “Tickle v. Betsy.” It’s about a woman named Betsy, described as “a mom of three, a longtime West Coast liberal with a master’s in education and deep knowledge of local schools and politics, whose youngest daughter suffers from ROGD [rapid onset gender dysphoria].” The title of the post refers to the recent court case out of Australia, Tickle v. Giggle, where a judge ruled that a female-only app run by a woman named Sall Grover must admit a man because the man calls himself a woman (i.e., he has a “woman gender identity”). On that topic, check out this amazing video from @WomenAreReals:

I announced a while ago that there would be some changes to this Substack starting in September, including a weekly podcast. I’ve been working hard over the past month to make that happen. I’ll describe some of that work (and the fun I’ve been having while doing it) in this post.
