I hope so too, representation really, really matters

Can you explain to me as someone who has no idea about it , how this has effected you I am so curious ❤ if not I completely understand

@@violetsun2343 one thing if she has no uterus or period they cant have kids

@@kpoplover36884 omg duh , I’m talking to her and HER experience! Not your non chalant rude ,deaf to the room behavior.

I remember Maddie from Sia’s video chandelier. Hard to believe that was so long ago.

Uh what, all I see is bunch of genetically confused actors that don’t know what they are. Ugh.

@@Ranidine26 I just mean that it's a difficult subject matter, which will require her to express complicated and awkward emotions. It's not glamorous. She's a pretty young actress and she could have chosen to appear in a big action movie or a cool superhero role, but instead she chose something challenging and personal.

@@Ranidine26what do you think

@@Ranidine26 it's brave because it's a difficult role that not every young actresses would take. It's not that hard to understand

stop calling dumb pedowood shit 'brave', it's not fucking brave

you could be a half nut

I see what you did there.

jamie lee curtis and ciara.

It’s based on the writer and director of this movies story Molly mcglynn

The director said she specifically didn't want to cast someone who also had MRKH, to avoid retraumatization of the actor. But yeah, Molly McGlynn wrote the character and she has MRKH. I think it's more important for the writer to truly understand the subject matter than the actor. Inters3x KZfaqr Blume has an interview with Molly McGlynn on their channel.

I am

MRKHer here. There are organizations out there now! I finally met others IN PERSON last year at a conference. Just crazy. Now a movie!

Same 😂😂😂

It is vaginismus! Vaginismus being a symptom of a wider condition. So, representation of many things! [Imagine GIF of spongebob with a rainbow over his head that says "LEARNING"]

My daughter has this. She does not consider herself intersex. I'm not actually sure why they are pushing it as such? Niether is she. She has studied her disorder for years on a scientific level. She is acually in school as a science major now. Scientifically it is not. I hope they did this movie in a tasteful way. By the looks of the trailer they may not have. I truly hope I'm wrong about that. It is a challenging disorder and hard to watch your child deal with this. But it's also something that perverts are drawn to once they find out people have it. So how they did this film matters in our eyes. I just pray it's a good representation of it, instead of politicized. Thank you for your kind words about the disorder and for being someone with a heart that is trying to understand it with compassion!!

​@@laughsalot6847I think it is not necessarily about labeling people with MRKH as intersex, but about relating to the experience of intersex people, being outside the box of man or woman and how society expects them and their bodies to be. The main character is a woman and identifies as such, and this is fine and her own identity, but because of bodily differences she has had since birth, she cannot experience a range of things that the world expects to be easy and simple, and seems to struggle in isolation, if not for people with similar experiences. Since MRKH syndrome seems rare, support must be hard to come by, and besides I think she must be able to find a lot to sympathize with, even if they are not technically the same. I think portraying this relationship is a great idea because it bridges the gap for people who police gender, in addition to informing people about atypical gender experiences. The main character is unquestionably a woman, even if she is missing some pieces society deems "normal" and has a nontraditional relationship with her body, so relating this to the intersex experience would hopefully open some eyes and just let people live the way that makes them feel fulfilled and as themselves and pursue what they want. I myself was not really aware of MRKH syndrome until now, but I can imagine the difficulty of the experience, the confusion that it may cause, and the questions it raises about one's own identity, what they want, and where they want to fit in. The movie seems to be focused on the social experience of it all, as well as the personal, and about finding acceptance especially from those who are able to listen and understand. Positive vibes!

@@laughsalot6847 it's the autobiographic story of the director

​@laughsalot6847 they're not saying this condition is intersex. She's in a support group. Different people.

@@marie-evetremblay2526 i mean, yeah, theyre not saying the condition is intersex, but when people watch a piece of media representing a condition with themes including intersex, what else are they gonna think? many women with MRKH do not regard the condition as intersex, not even myself, and now im not sure i can associate myself with this movie if people who are unaware of the condition may end up viewing it as intersex. the theme of intersex being included will be reflected onto women like me with the condition, and i dont want that, because that's not what it is nor is it who i am.

I don’t actually think people living with MRKH are intersex. “People with MRKH syndrome have a female chromosome pattern (46,XX)…”

it was actually represented in a show called faking it on mtv a few years ago (not the main plot ) but a good watch

Yes, but not many. I saw the movie XXY a long time ago. It's definitely a subject that should be talked about and destigmatized way more!

MRKH is NOT interesex and, being someone that has previously worked with newborns, intersex infants are very very rare (have seen one in the past 3 years and we are a massive unit with over 100 patients).

MRKH 1 every 4000/5000 people @@chalronbjork4766

was waiting for paul rudd to appear. i think he did?

sure. right up there next to how McCauley Culkin turned out.

That's why she's the main actress in a movie.

Ditto (just... I was diagnosed over 20 years ago)

It is a serious subject, especially for us who were both with MRKH. 😊

same

i have MRKH- im glad you and i feel represented in such a private aspect of ourselves, feels good that we can relate and are not alone :') pages on how to dilate for vaginismus has literally helped me sm w/ my own condition

This isn’t an intersex disorder

How many members of your family are intersex?

Why we? Speak for yourself

​@@narunatsu1why do you include yourself in her "we"? Weird.

@@faveladarbunch8738 😆

She wasn’t mean

He plays Bear in Reservation dogs. So good.

February 2nd!

What do you want her to do sit in a corner facing the wall

@@bobbelfie8016right 😭

⁠@@bobbelfie8016Yes that’s exactly what I want, nah dude I’m just saying that’s the reason I don’t want to watch it, that doesn’t apply to everyone and I said she’s doing great lol it’s an opinion, not that deep.

Maddie grew up. DEAL WITH IT!

What now?

An unnecessary representation, given that the odds of being intersex are so incredibly low as to be nonexistent. Of course idiot kids your age all THINK they are because they think it makes them interesting when it really just makes you insufferable.

*yawn

You need to do a little research, this is not intersex at all (which is extremely rare).

But it’s so porny :/

It released at SXSW March, was set to release November, and will be released February 2024

@@mountainrabbitart5758 thank u, but not gonna lie, I'm still confused lol

She was in a movie called The Fallout with Jenna Ortega. It's pretty great, it's on HBO Max if you have that.

Why?

After her halloween costume the internet is mighty pissed at her@@joshburns4611

Lol and why is that

LOL already answered it above@@marie-evetremblay2526

The director didn’t want someone to relive their trauma so she chose an actor who doesn’t have it

It’s an infertility condition in women, so at the very least they could have cast an actress who has experience with that

@@JessicaFreeman-uy5po the director has that condition and it’s based on her life and she said a lot of the things portrayed are traumatic experiences and she didn’t want someone with the condition to relive that trauma obviously

@@JessicaFreeman-uy5po and not every actor has to have experience that’s the point of acting

I find her to be a hypocrite. She didn’t want it to be triggering for an actress with the condition, but she didn’t care at all, that she made a triggering comedy mockery of our infertility struggle. A lot of the girls with our condition. Do not want to see it. Some have gone to see it and we’re very upset afterward. I have a feeling this will continue to be the case

For representing a condition that affects women and the poor treatment and trauma they get from doctors?

why?

Wow that’s ignorant af

The director of the movie (Molly McGlynn) has MRKH, and in an interview with Blume (inters3x activist on KZfaq) she said she didn't want to cast someone who had MRKH to avoid retraumatization of the actor. I think it's more important for the person who wrote the story to be intimately familiar with the subject matter than the actor. So this fully passes my sniff test. Also, Kai Griffin is an actor in this movie, and they are inters3x.

because as a film creator you want someone who fits the role and who can act, and there is probably not a lot of choice in intersex actors. Not that maddie is a very experienced actor either, but they also have to sell a movie and she is known by the target audience.

Because it’s jot about an intersex condition. MRKH is reproductive condition in unambiguous females with no intersex characteristics. Keep up.

The reason is because MRKH is not an intersex condition. The intersex representation in the film is another character who does have an intersex condition

@@JessicaFreeman-uy5po So 'inters3x' is not a medical term (anymore) and it does not have a hard definition. Which conditions are and are not included depends on who you ask. The inters3x community seems to have come to the conclusion that if you identify as inters3x, then that's what you are, and that whether or not you are inters3x depends not only on what condition you have, but also on what life experiences came with that condition (e.g. dilation, feeling defective, forced surgery etc). It is more of a political group with common experiences of oppression and othering, and common interests (bodily autonomy and normalization of difference), than it is a medical group. That said, the person who wrote this film has MRKH and she absolutely does think of it as an inters3x story. In her interview with inters3x advocate & KZfaqr Blume she talks about how much it hurts to have people gatekeep her out of that identity. So I think you need to rethink your stance.

the director and story are literally about a female. anyone can be intersex.

No it’s not. MRKH is not an intersex condition

?

I have this disorder

@@bobbelfie8016 so?

What?

That’s ignorant

the writer-director has it, it's a semi-autobiographical film.

have you head of... acting??????????

isnt that kinda the point of acting tho??

The director who has the condition didn’t want to have the actor relive their trauma

Only 1 in 5000 women are diagnosed with MRKH. To get the right actress, at the right age, at time production, etc. onward... might be a bit difficult ( PS. Im an MRKHer).

Yeah cause a congenital disorder is cringe 🤦🏽‍♀️

There using this very rare thing to try and make trans people equal same thing. @@Anonymouslittlebee

Is it "cringe?" Is that the right word?

@@MartiMarc If it's not, I'm open to a better one.

It’s literally my life lol I have this disorder

I swear

💀

What do you mean?

She still has hormones and can still get horny or turned on. The uterus is not involved in making women 'turned on', its just a 'baby pouch'.

Are u joking💀

Becuse she like most humans enjoy pleasure
