I remember seeing this movie back in the 70's when I was a young kid and feeling uncomfortable about it all.
The forces of darkness have been working at it for a long time.

How about a bit more description?
It is true, Norman Lear and other Hollywood started pushing this, called sex-change then, back in the 70’s.
Just tell us what it is Dude.
“How about a bit more description?”
Yeah. I’ve seen a lot of movies in my life.
Maybe this one has a title...?
It’s a video of a boy who wants a doll. Everyone makes fun of him. Finally his grandma gets him a doll for his birthday. Billy’s dad is angry, but grandma pulls him aside and gently tells him he is wrong.
Just like today I think it's a way for mediocre male athletes to compete to win.
this thread is uncomfortable.
“William Wants A Doll” is only 3 minutes long if you want to see what I’m talking about.
Well, that wasn’t so hard, was it?
1970 was about the time Myra Breckinridge hit movie screens. I saw it because I was an idiot teen and Raquel Welch was in it. I was disturbed after it that I’d wasted my money on that trash. Gotta start learning somewhere I guess.
Back when people were sane, we’d have thought it strange if parents let their son play with dolls and act effeminate, but we wouldn’t have intervened. Maybe a few raised eyebrows, you know?
Nowadays, the left will have you up on child abuse charges if you don’t let your son undergo a sex change operation at five! That’s the real issue in my opinion. The left uses government to impose their agendas on everyone, when most of us just want to be left alone!
The left accuses the right of being “preachy” Bible thumpers. They have these huge blind spots when it comes to their own behavior.
Those comments are something else.
It was a Marlo Thomas production and it was mentioned that Alan Alda was the singer.
What state was this in? I was only subjected to the drug movies.
That movie would not have been shown in my little country school.
My grandfather’s ranch was about an hour from Trinidad, Colorado. We passed through there a lot when I was a kid, when I was old enough to remember things we never ever stopped there. Barely slowed down going through. I used to look out the window as we drove by and wonder why. My dad would not stop there, if one of us had to use the restroom we went on up the road and went behind a bush.
As I got older I remember hearing my mother and aunts whispering about what was going on in that little town, at some point I figured it all out. The sex change capital of the world or so they claimed, started there in the 1960s. In the beginning it was a secret to those outside the town. One of my aunts was a nurse in another small town hospital in that area and she heard from other nurses what was going on there. Of course when it was established then it was publicized.
That sure as hell didn’t get by the Texas Textbook Commission in the 1960s or 70s.
Yeah. I remember that hype.
The first I remember hearing anything about it was a transexual tennis player named Renee Richards in the 70s who had a sex change from male to female. That was about it for a long time.
I remember listening to a record back then by Marlo Thomas, “Free to be You and Me”. There was a song about a boy wanting a doll.
The proper vernacular back in the day for this sort of thing was “faggot crap”.
Glen or Glenda (by and about Ed Wood who professed to be a heterosexual interested in crossdressing) was made in 1954, after the Christine Jorgenson sex change operation in Denmark.
This has been with us a generation longer than people are discussing.
