FFS Friday: Vaishnavi Sundar
July 19, 2024
FFS (Female Free Speech) Friday honors women and girls who are speaking out about the harms that “gender identity” poses to women and girls as a sex class. FFS Friday posts are free and shareable. If you would like access to content that delves deeper into the movement to protect the sex-based rights of women and girls and to stop the abolition of sex, please consider a paid subscription.
Today’s FFS Friday honors Vaishnavi Sundar, the country contact for Women’s Declaration International India and a filmmaker who never holds back in her support for women and girls as a sex class.
On her website, Vaishnavi states:
Many years ago, I got fed up and quit my well-paying, globe-trotting job. I couldn’t force myself to enjoy my job knowing I had to work in a sexist atmosphere. The men in the office talked of male brains and female brains, women’s role in the society/kitchen, and how all this is “scientific.” Any opposing views were shot down. The thought of getting on the conveyor belt of this corporate rat race drove up the wall. I made up my mind to choose conscience over capital.
She is the founder of Lime Soda Films and Women Making Films.
In 2021, Lime Soda Films released Dysphoric, a 4-part documentary on the rise of “gender identity” ideology and its effects on women and girls, especially in developing countries. Vaishnavi produced the film during lockdown, amid cancellations, and without backing from any major studio. You can watch it on YouTube here or on X here.
Her most recent project is Behind the Looking Glass, which highlights the stories of women whose male partners have “transitioned.” I urge everyone to watch the trailer and support Vaishnavi’s work here. Those of us who follow her work are anxiously awaiting the release date!
I have had the pleasure and honor of meeting Vaishnavi in person on more than one occasion. She’s as delightful in person as her work is important.
Vaishnavi, today’s FFS Friday is for you.
What this brilliant series of yours shows, Kara, is that there is an inexhaustible supply of wonderful, courageous, dedicated women out there who are fighting mightily on behalf of us all. Sundar is yet another fantastic choice for the series.
‘Dysphoric’ is an amazing doc, as artful and beautiful as it is informative. It widened the scope of my understanding of the cultural power and influence of the US throughout the world. I can’t wait to see her new film!
