[EDITOR'S NOTE:] This post comes to us from former contributor Ed Fox. Ed is the chair of the Indiana Transgender Rights Advocacy Alliance (INTRAA).
Recently there was a dust up on lists and blogs in and around Indy about the inclusion of The Gendercator in the upcoming LGBT film festival. Many people stated that the film was transphobic and should be pulled from the schedule. Many of those people had not seen the film and some cited the director's comments in support of their judgement. Some of us were concerned at what we perceived as a rush to judgement, and made uncomfortable by the idea of silencing or erasing someone or their ideas. As the brouhaha developed, the board of INTRAA thought that the issue needed to be addressed, but that we should not comment without having seen the film ourselves.
