    The interview with Sean Saida Wall made me so angry on his behalf!!! The doctors lied to his mother that Sean has cancer, and castrated him as a young child without his mother's informed consent. Dr John Money commited harm. And also John Hopkins is where they took Henrietta Lack's cells without her consent too.

    River Gallo's interview for me intrigued about their film, Ponyboi.

    Two percent of human beings are born intersex! That's approximately the percentage of red heads!! (From Alicia Roth Weigel's testimony in front of the Texas committee).

    Nearly a decade ago I read the book "As Nature Made Him: The Boy Who Was Raised as A Girl", on the tragic wrongs that were done to David Reimer after they botched his circumcision in 1967. It's sickening that nearly 60 years later it's horrifying that we're sliding further away from keeping our children safe from people like that.

    I'm going to try to find out how to watch this film.
