The number of transgender-identifying youth has exploded in the last decade, leaving parents, educators, medical professionals, and politicians at odds over what policies will best protect the long-term health and well-being of children. As a one-sided echo chamber pushes an “affirmation-only” model, a growing share of the public feels silenced. The Identity Crisis Film Tour seeks to change that by offering perspectives from individuals who’ve experienced the harms of the gender ideology movement first-hand.

"Conservatives are often branded as fear mongers. If we talk about the slippery slope, well, if you start manipulating the terms, changing the definitions of women, of harm, this is where it will lead. Sadly, this is the natural conclusion.
