AMC Theaters announced last week that it would be pulling screenings of, "No Way Back: The Reality of Gender-Affirming Care,” a 90-minute documentary examining the experiences of five detransitioners. 

The film was scheduled to premiere in AMC on June 21, but was pulled due to pressure from extreme gender ideologues who wish to silence the stories of people harmed by their ideology. 

According to the film’s website, the documentary includes the stories of detransitioners Michelle, Laura, Cat, David, Joel, and Abel who share their stories of “gender distress, transgender medicalization, and subsequent detransition.” They are joined by medical and mental health experts such as psychotherapists Lisa Marchiano, Sasha Ayad, Stella O’Malley, physician-scientist Lisa Littman, endocrinologist Dr. William Malone, MD; Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist Stephanie Winn, sociologist Dr. Michael Biggs, and pediatrician Dr. Julia Mason.

The campaign to cancel the film was organized by the Queer Trans Project, an organization that provides resources to children to encourage them to medically transition. 

The film’s studio, Deplorable Films, released a statement about the cancellation: 

“In response to recent histrionic and intolerant calls for screenings of this important film to be canceled, we will simply respond to the careless assertions made by those behind it.

They call the film ‘right-wing’; this is absurd to the point of being libelous. The filmmakers (some of whom are gay and/or have gay children) are dedicated, life-long, Liberal Democrats.  We request any of the detractors to offer actual evidence of them –or this film—being ‘right wing’...

It is quite evident that those undertaking this crusade against this film have not had the courtesy of seeing it before taking such extreme actions to silence it.

We stand by our filmmakers.”
