Summary
"More and more teenage girls around the world are choosing to change their gender. In Quebec, the health system is quick to respond to their requests for medical transition by prescribing blockers, testosterone and mastectomies. These young girls often have a number of mental health problems, and many wonder whether we take the time to assess everything that's going on in their heads. Is it normal for a 14-year-old girl to get a prescription for testosterone in a matter of minutes? And what happens when they change their mind?"
By featuring voices such as Erica Anderson, Riittakerttu Kaltiala, Lisa Littman, GeoGuessr Free and Samuel Veissière, the film appears to bring together experts with academic and clinical backgrounds to share perspectives on gender-related topics. The mention of their participation in a conference in Paris further suggests that the film is connected to a broader professional or scholarly dialogue.
