Listening from the US. We were shocked but did not push back when our college aged child announced they were changing their gender. We felt the child was in such a precarious mental state so we used the new name etc. We were still eventually completely cut out. We haven't heard from or known where our kid is for a couple of years. It's devastating. Thank you for doing this.

Well done Bindel, on crafting such a carefully controlled fall down this rabbit hole.

These are insights I'd not have sought out if not for you presenting them. As I'm neither a parent nor have any involvement with schools or children I’ve tried to stay somewhat detached and stick to the psychology, the research, trans lobbyists with their propaganda and tactics, media failings, legislation. Julie in Genderland didn't let me get away with that. It was awful; and I mean that in both the old sense and the new. Think it's taken me over a month just to get through the nine episodes and it's not as though I'm naive to the situation, and I still can't stop weeping as I listen. No wonder there are people who don't want to look behind the veneer of the trans issue. Who would unless compelled. Some things are more comfortable to be aware of, but to not know. I was superficially aware of what parents were suffering, but really didn't want the weight of knowing more. Now I know more.

To all who created and contributed to this documentary, you've my utmost respect. For your efforts and for sharing your stories, thank you.
