Every Body

Great movie that was assigned in a college class I was taking. Informative and proactive I admire those who have shared their intersex journey to teach others. I loved the testimony given in Austin, loved the joyful dance at the end. Loved the positivity shown despite painful life experiences. My heart went out to the people as they described the challenges they had growing up and making the decision to embrace who they are. Such incredible courage. I'm so glad this was an assignment or I probably wouldn't have heard about it. Wish there were more books and movies that describe lives of those in the LGBTQIA+ community.

The movie primarily focuses on three intersex individuals. It is estimated there are 230,000 intersex persons in the US. They have the chromosome XY, and they are not the trans population. It is a wide range of differences in the sexual anatomy of the individuals, but the bottom line is that it is complex and evolving. And their main desire is to allow the individual to make the decision of how they want to live their life as they grow up and understand who they are, and to stop the intersex surgeries of which they have no choice about just to conform to society's definition of male/female. So much of what has been in textbooks simply is wrong, and they give the example of twins, where there was a medical mistake at age 2, and he was then raised to be a girl, with devastating results, worsened by the prominent doctor who kept reporting that things were going so well. If anyone is looking for anything sordid in this movie, they need to go elsewhere. Thoughtful, informative and certainly providing a picture that most know nothing about.

The best thing ever. Everyone on the Earth has to watch it. Such a masterpiece. So educational. Made me cry multiple times as a non-binary person.

The best movie for trans people to see, and also others to understand us.

It is also amazing how the story is very serious, sad, and also cheerful. The past doesn't define them, and they chose to live their best possible lives, being authentic to oneself. I wish everyone had the support they have from their parents.

Also glad to see that they could make changes to improve lives of other people!

I wanna give the biggest longest hug to David. Heartbreaking. The things he went through. I wish he was still alive.

Finding out that you're intersex and realizing that there are no resources or information on sex development disorders is pretty disheartening and frustrating. My intersex condition was kept hidden from me by my parents until I received genetic testing on another rare disorder I had ...at age 35! Turns out this is pretty common in the intersex community!

After watching this film at an early screening, I don't feel too isolated now as an intersex person. We are very much considered outcasts by society from the start.

Thanks for giving us intersex folks a voice in a very crowded LGBTQIA environment.

People are judging this documentary on their own beliefs and opinions and not on the fact that this is a very well made and informative document. And that's such a shame. I fell a bit in love with the beautiful people being portrayed in this film. They ate all so well spoken and had the ability to inform me about the subject. There were heartbreaking stories and the moral of this documentary is that individuals have to make their own decisions when it comes to gender identity. No-body (pun intended) else should do that. No doctor, no parent. Only the individual.

Thank you makers, for producing this phenomenal, heartfelt film!
