Help keep Salon independent

Tucker Carlson, Steven Crowder and attacks on transgender and intersex people

"Every Body" director Julie Cohen discusses the far-right media's attacks on the LGBTQIA+ community over the past few decades. "There's just a lot of fear about anything that doesn't fit expectations," she said on "Salon Talks." Cohen explains how attacks on gender and sex reflect earlier attacks on gay people and sexual orientation. The director, who was nominated for an Oscar for her film "RBG," shared how making the documentary about intersex people showed her that they are often ignored completely and sometimes told they don't exist.
