Understandably, many trans people just want to live their lives in peace - not rocking the boat too much, and living a normal, happy life among their peers. Jen Ives is not one of them. In this stand-up show filmed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Jen takes on hot button issues, such as biology, gender critical “feminism”, the LGB Alliance, pornography & of course - JK Rowling. The conversation is as vital as ever, as everyone and their nan seems to be discussing trans women’s validity these days. The only people who don’t seem to get a say, are the trans women themselves.
Reviews
There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
