EVERY BODY

EVERY BODY is a documentary about the tiny minority of people who suffer from disorders in the development of their male and female reproductive organs in the womb and during puberty. EVERY BODY is a deceitful, abhorrent propaganda piece. It contains explicit discussion and graphic visual images of body parts, drastically exaggerates the percent of people with such disorders, and promotes a false, anti-Christian, unbiblical, unscientific, pro-homosexual leftist view of male and female differences.

The movie extensively interviews three people, two women and one man, who suffered physical disorders in their sexual development. One woman, Alicia, was born with XY male chromosomes but has other female genes that her body didn’t turn off and make her to appear a white female and develop female genitalia. Alicia prefers to be called She/Her or They/Them. Another woman was born with partially developed hidden male genitalia, but she decided to become a “transgender” male, though she still looks more like a female and was raised as a beautiful black girl. As an adult, she changed her female name to Sean. Finally, a Hispanic man, River, was born without testicles but otherwise has a fully functioning male organ. However, as a young adult, he decided to act and wear makeup and be a “transgender” woman. River wants to be called She/Her, even though he looks more like a cross-dressing man than a woman. In childhood photos and videos, River seems like an effeminate boy, and in the movie, he behaves like an effeminate cross-dressing man. Effeminate behavior often is a personal or cultural affectation.

All three of these people identify themselves as “Intersex,” which is the I in LGBTQIA+. This sexual identity and alphabet soup designation is supported by an interview with at least one clinical psychologist and by the movie itself. The “expert” and the three people claim that “intersex” people of various kinds represent 1.8% of the population.

In addition to the interviews with the three people and the expert, the movie discusses a sad case involving a baby boy whose male organ was burned off during a secular hospital’s circumcision procedure. An “expert” at John Hopkins University advised the parents to raise the boy as a girl, to prove his controversial theory that infants younger than two can be raised by their parents as either girl or boy, with no harmful effects. The man was proven wrong, and the boy later had surgery so he could be a fully functioning man. He and his wife eventually adopted children, but the man eventually committed suicide. Sadly, his twin brother, alone without his brother, also committed suicide.

The three people in the movie use this case to actively oppose any surgery on “intersex” people until they are 18 or 21, when they are able make an informed decision. Ironically, the three people support “gender affirming” surgery for children under 18 who identify as “transgender.” Also, they claim that conservatives do the opposite, supporting surgery for “intersex” children but opposing surgery for “transgender” children. This is debatable.

EVERY BODY is an extremely flawed, and even deceitful, propaganda piece.

Firstly, “intersex” is a contentious political term that’s used by the world’s radical LGBT activists. The correct medical, scientific term is people born with “disorders of sexual development.” These disorders can manifest themselves at birth and/or during puberty.

Secondly, according to the scientific literature MOVIEGUIDE® examined, the vast majority of young people with such disorders are not really “intersex,” but physically manifest, for the most part, as either Male or Female. Thus, whether or not the person eventually calls himself or herself “transgender” or non-binary, most people with “disorders of sexual development” appear to be basically Male or Female. Thus, despite her male chromosomes, Alicia looks thoroughly female. Also, despite their self-described “transgender” identities, River appears to be a man who cross-dresses, and Sean appears to be a woman who cross-dresses and has had her breasts removed. In addition, since both River and Sean call themselves “transgender,” it could be argued that they actually belong under the “T” in LGBTQIA+ rather than under the “I” letter.

Thirdly, according to multiple sources in the medical, scientific community, 1.8% of people are not born “intersex.” At most, only 1 in 1500 people are born intersex, or 0.067%. That’s nearly 27 times fewer people. It’s clear, therefore, that the people interviewed in EVERY BODY and the filmmakers behind the movie are guilty of presenting a grave falsehood. The leftist activists involved in the so-called “intersex” movement, including Alicia, River and Sean, apparently are trying to inflate their numbers, just as other LGBT activists do. They obviously have a vested self-interest to increase their political clout and bamboozle unsuspecting, easily duped citizens and voters who might be sympathetic to their cause.

Finally, neither the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) nor the Societies of Pediatric Urology (SPU) advocate banning all intersex surgeries. In fact, in 2017, the SPU said, “A moratorium on all surgery would be as harmful as recommending surgery for all.” In 2019, the SPU reiterated that “a blanket ban on surgery” would hurt the care of children with and without “intersex” conditions. The SPU and the AAP don’t believe one solution fits all patients.

EVERY BODY is a deeply flawed, misleading, abhorrent propaganda piece. Besides fallacious propaganda, it contains lots of strong foul language, explicit adult discussions, an immoral and unbiblical pro-homosexual attitude that’s unscientific, and some graphic images of nude bodies.
