The Left is celebrating after having apparently shut down the diffusion of a film that counters the LGBT agenda.
The documentary No Way Back: The Reality of Gender-Affirming Care was supposed to hit theaters on July 21. But AMC, the largest chain of cinemas in the United States, has reportedly pulled the plug in reaction to a campaign against the film organized by The Queer Trans Project, which has called the documentary “hateful.”
The film follows the stories of five “detransitioners,” individuals who underwent sex change therapy but then repented and went back to identifying as their biological sex.
According to Fox News, the film has not been made available for viewing yet, and its detractors have not seen it, despite their opposition.
“It is quite evident that those undertaking this crusade against this film have not had the courtesy of seeing it before taking such extreme actions to silence it. We stand by our filmmakers,” read a statement from the documentary’s distributor, Deplorable Films.
A source familiar with AMC’s dealings told Fox News that the theater chain made its decision based on poor ticket sales, with only 139 tickets being sold nationally ahead of the film’s release.
Nevertheless, The Queer Trans Project claimed victory following its online campaign in which it urged protesters to mail letters to AMC calling for No Way Back to be pulled.
The leftist activist group posted on Instagram:
We did it! Our community’s swift action is a testament to the power of advocacy and the importance of raising our voices against harmful content. Your collective efforts have made a significant impact, and the decision to pull No Way Back from AMC theaters is a step towards fostering a more inclusive and respectful environment...

“...with only 139 tickets being sold nationally ahead of the film’s release.”
B.S. I’m on an email list in the Seattle area and 23 people had bought tickets to go. Seattle.
Per their site, looks like it will be available streaming and DVD.
Most people don’t need a movie to tell them this is a horrible idea.
The public clearly recognizes now that transgenders are mentally ill and potentially pose risks to themselves and society at large. The American people have seen enough, and are all out of tolerance.
Don’t just keep it to yourself.
Then why do 20 states ban mental health therapy to help people with gender dysmorphia?
Sweden was one of the top supporters of the trans-cult. A movie similar to this new one came out in Sweden about 5 years ago, and that movie caused Sweden to rethink things and their procedures have changed in how they deal with gender dysmorphia. The number of medical “treatments” has gone down greatly due to them now getting mental health treatment rather than going straight to hormones and the knife.
Apparently lawmakers and 139 other people need to be told that this is a terrible idea.
And conservatives don’t have the conviction to boycott AMC.
And the people that vote for those lawmakers.
They tried to do the same thing for “Enders Game” based on one of the best Sci Fi books ever written.
All because the writer disagrees with their agenda.
Real conservatives should boycott anything from Hollywierd. (I have not been to a movir theater since 1999.)
In AMC’s defense, it’s possible that they considered the possibility of some tranny shooting up a theater and decided to cancel the showings.
I doubt that anyone voting for these lawmakers did so based on their advocacy of genital mutilation.
Those who voted for them would surely benefit more from seeing a movie about freedom, capitalism and Marxism.
Telling truth is never “hate.” We must insist!
