WASHINGTON—The transgender movement has recently gained significant national attention owing to numerous factors, including the controversy surrounding big corporations like Budweiser and Target’s support for the movement as well as widespread public opposition to transgender athletes competing in women’s sports.
To raise awareness about the harms caused by the movement, Moms For America, an advocacy group for family rights, will host a virtual screening and panel discussion of the Epoch Original docudrama “Gender Transformation: The Untold Realities” on Oct. 5 at the Heritage Foundation in Washington.
The Epoch Times will co-host the event, which will start at 5:50 p.m. EDT, and viewers can watch it live on The Epoch Times website. The documentary screening will begin at 6:00 p.m., and a live panel discussion will follow at 7:35 p.m.
The event will explore the complex issues surrounding gender confusion, transgenderism, and their effect on young people. It will also inform mothers on how to spot extremist messaging in schools across the country.
“The radical LGBTQ agenda is literally hurting our children,” Kimberly Fletcher, founder and president of Moms For America (MFA), said in a statement. “Parents are being kept deliberately in the dark while their children are being force-fed extremist propaganda and encouraged to reject who they are—even to the point of mutilating their own bodies at an age when most kids can’t even go to the movies by themselves.”
By following the journeys of several former transgender youths, the Epoch Times film unpacks the complexities behind the rise of the transgender movement and the role of institutions, from schools to medical and pharmaceutical companies.
As highlighted in the documentary, parents are often confronted with a challenging dilemma during their children’s gender identity crises: “Would you rather have a dead daughter or a living son?”
However, parents recognize that the answer to this heartbreaking issue is far from simple.
About the Docudrama
The Epoch Times film examines the complex issues surrounding transgenderism and explains the roles played by the education system, the medical and pharmaceutical industries, the financial interests behind the transgender movement, and the societal and political mechanisms at work.
The docudrama tells the real-life stories of several former transgender youth who started the gender transitioning process and their experiences at various stages of the journey through interviews and re-enactments.
Experts interviewed in the film reveal the life-altering medical and psychological impacts of the experimental medication used, including the irreversible side effects of puberty blockers, hormone therapies, and surgeries that are often ignored by the media.
In the docudrama, award-winning director Tobias Elvhage brings to light the untold realities and implications of the transgender movement on American children and youth. His most recent awards include Best Short Film at the 2023 LA Documentary Film Festival and Winner of the 2023 European Cinematography Awards.
