Sex & Nudity

  • The movie's theme centers around sexuality, gender identity, and transgender people. Body parts are discussed nonstop.
  • We see an illustration of 2 nudes having sex in a kid's book, with only breasts visible. Only on screen for a few seconds, and it is more cringey than sensual
  • Matt interviews a naked man. We don't see anything below the hips. Random clips of transitioning influencer's breasts appear for split seconds. Not meant to be sexually appealing
  • Discussions about medical procedures involved in the transitioning process, especially modifying sex organs, but the procedures aren't shown
  • Even though there is a ton of discussion about sex and sexuality, it's all discussed in an intellectual way and there's nothing sensual or exciting about it

Violence & Gore

  • Lots of discussions about medical processes of transitioning and its negative affects, from physical to emotional to suicide.
  • In Africa, we see an animal getting slaughtered with blood spurting. It's a quick scene, but kind of graphic.
  • Matt destroys a cork board but is meant almost as a comedic affect. He isn't really angry
  • A trans man who received a vaginoplasty surgery shows cauterized, heavily damaged skin on her arm where a graft was removed. She states that constant infections will probably kill her when her insurance runs out and she can't buy the drugs to fight it off anymore.
  • Medical discussions about subject matter including abortion, osteoporosis in children, a minor child getting a mastectomy, death, pregnancy and castration. Most of this is only verbal and is not shown on-screen in any graphic nature.

Profanity

  • One bleeped out f bomb, some s***s and a**holes, and possibly milder language
  • Correct names of genitalia are frequently used, along with some more crude names like d*ck
  • A crowd of women call Matt an a**hole for asking what is a woman

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Discussion of drugs, especially puberty blockers.
  • Chemical castration is discussed with regards to drug companies who supply puberty blockers
  • We hear that one man, who was abused as a child, overdosed

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Some of the interviewed people are uncomfortable with the questions they are asked
  • A few female athletes talk about opportunities being taken from them by trans women. A father is in legal trouble for opposing his child's transitioning. One person who regretted transitioning talked about how they might die because of all the complications
  • Matt wakes up from a dramatized nightmare involving mannequins, but because of his dry humor he's unfazed and moves on after a few seconds
  • The interview with Scott Nugent is at times hard to hear. Scott medically transitioned and discusses the side effects and potential for a shortened lifespan as a result.
