Consideration of this documentary can’t be done without addressing its laser focus on young ciswomen.opens with the following statement: “The filmmakers want to acknowledge the use of gendered language throughout this documentary. While menstruation is experienced across the gender binary, the film itself specifically focuses on the historical and lived experiences of cis-women who menstruate.
A discussion about the expansive view of gender is relegated to the last five minutes, but, even then, the phrase “people who have actual uteruses” is tossed around. On my most generous reading, this was an off-the-cuff remark trying to be inclusive of the gendered experience.It’s okay for a documentary to have a point of view; in fact, I would argue that a documentary that’s all about showcasing how certain birth control methods may be deadly has a distinct point of view.
this section at the end of the film really feels like someone told the filmmakers that their focus was transphobic during edits, and so they rushed to fix it. Trans people have always existed;just chose the easiest storytelling path by narrowing their film’s focus to only ciswomen.In addition to its TERFy narrative, the film criticizes proponents of birth control for lacking nuance, particularly in women’s health space.

As a reporter who is regularly reading the research, writing about abortion, researching Medicaid and all the parts within reproductive healthcare, the problem is much bigger than this one stagnant part of science.
To give the film some credit, one featured doctor does make this point: “The problem is not the individual doctor. It’s actually being steeped in a system that has been misogynistic from day one.”is not more female doctors or more feminist-coded healthcare clinics like Tia, a

Don't give them clicks! Read the archive:
A documentary about women’s birth control actually centres women? What about the poor mens (especially the ones in dresses!)! 🙄 Have you listened to yourselves?
They are baiting you. Evrytime they have posted trooney BS they have locked the reply function. Traffic is probably dying because they sold out to troons, so they are doing this to generate it. Quote retweet and avoid engaging with the traitors and the troons.
'TERFy' just means based and correct.
According to your article, a film about female birth control embarrassingly falls all over itself pandering to the idiocy that is Genderology, yet that's not good enough for you cultist goons. Will be a great day when gender mania dies its well deserved death & you along w/ it.
Blame Disney & DNC StopDisney
Fuck off Aunt Lydia. We’re allowed to organise without males.
Every. Fuckin'. Day.
Any site calling itself 'feminist' while using the term 'TERFy' as an insult is inherently a laughing stock. Get a life.
Lemme help you out: people born with diques - commonly known as MEN - don't get pregnant, don't menstruate, don't get uterine cancer, don't get cervical cancer, and don't go through menopause. To claim otherwise is pure fantasy. Take all the damn seats already.
i love terfy things 😍
This is the most widely shared thread on women's reproductive rights. Shove your privilege.
What are you, children? Would you say 'cunty'? You just did. TERF is a slur used to denigrate women, including rape victims, who need man free spaces. Aren't you impressive? Not.
Only women need birth control. Get over it.
Please stop writing articles like this. My son is a trans man and you are not helping him. You make trans people look petty & insane while their actual concerns (employment, adoption, transition care) are ignored. This is not trans advocacy.
Ooh terfy you say? Must be about reality and common sense then
what is a woman?

Kinda terfy is my favourite kind of terfy
Let me translate: TERFy = Exclusively concerns female people, maybe even calls them women (the horror) instead of inclusive and respectful terms such as 'cervix-havers' or 'menstruators'.
Heaven forbid women talk about issues that affect them
Women aren’t ‘cis’. We just ARE. Even those of us who run from womanhood, are women. 🤦♀️ Stop this ridiculous nonsense.
Talking about subjects like birth control is very triggering and might cause trans people to self-harm. You wouldn't want that would you?
The use of CIS is offensive - the correct term you are looking for is 'WOMAN' that is all, nothing extra needed.
Stopped reading this BS years ago.
OK dick worshippers
Jeez Jezebel, can you stop? For like, a day? Just stop.
The films “trans exclusion” and “ageism”. Hmmmm. Can you tell us about the trans women and octogenarians who are getting accidentally pregnant ? If not, I’m going to suggest the focus is appropriate ….
What’s the matter? Does the piece not centre delusional men?
Good to know that Jezebel isnt worth reading anymore and is no longer a publication for women.
'ageism, the focus is on young people' Because older, menopausal women don't need birth control, that's why.
Tirelessly Explaining Reality, again & again, to F*ckwits
Damn this dumbazz review of a documentary about women's birth control spends like 75% of the time complaining about how men are 'erased' from it hahahaahahaha
