Some of you might have seen the Channel 4 UK documentary on Transmaxxing which is now on YouTube. The video is unrestricted so you don't need a VPN to watch it.

Channel 4 UK Documentary on Transmaxxing

Oh, I've just noticed that the admin has covered it on the YouTube channel.

Our transmaxxing community is for all people looking to live a better life as a female. It's not just for people without gender dysphoria.
Transmaxxing = MtF transition for personal gain with the perception that being seen as a female will be advantageous for you compared to being seen as a male.
Sammy for example has a nonbinary identity. They agreed to participate in the documentary after being promised to be involved in the editing process, of course Ben Zand didn't even pretend to follow that.
Ben was only interested in pushing the narrative of transitioners either having been "born in the wrong body" or doing it for superficial reasons such as "cheaper car insurance" (no longer a thing in the UK by the way).
It also seems like Ben Zand makes people sign very restrictive NDAs (in addition to other bad things in the release contract) to prevent them from having any resource after they have been manipulated into participating. In the case of Sammy they only signed that under the condition that they would be involved during editing which they very clearly ignored (likely invalidating the release contract including the NDA).

Stuff like that will keep happening when we have members of our community who talk to media and sign awful contracts without even asking the higher leadership for advice.

I agree with you.
If some people do not have the skills to deal with the press, it's better not to talk with them at all. Just like with the police when they interview, the person in custody can remain silent by saying 'no comment' to every question.
I personally wouldn't handle being interviewed for mental health reasons...
One example back in 1982 where a London Underground driver said 'no comment' and trolled the journalist by sitting in the train as a passenger for a while hoping that the journalist walks away.

When getting interviewed by the press, it's always best to have your own recording, if they try to defame and smear, at least you can publish the full interview online, in which you did in October last year.

I'm aware that people in other political spectrums, etc. (such as Andrew Tate) as they use the same method by recording the interview with the journalist from their camera/device and publish in full.
Exactly, insurance for cisgirls in the UK is no different.
I suggest Sammy should make a Subject Access Request to obtain all the video recordings of herself from Channel 4, this is part of UK/EU's GDPR. You can even make a Subject Access Request to obtain CCTV footage of yourself.

I can't guarantee if Channel 4 will release all the video recordings of her, if it's due to the contract she signed and issues to publish them online due to copyright reasons. 🤔

I don't think Sammy want's to challenge them in court.
It's not guaranteed that they would rule in their favor even though Ben Zand basically committed fraud to get sammy to sign that very unfavorable release paper (i told them to record their discord conversations and show that to others).
I don't know the details of their interactions, they could just deny any verbal promise and delete their discord messages to hide evidence (and claim the video sammy took was faked).

You might be interested to read that Channel 4 has a policy on fairness and they have to abide by the Ofcom code:
They also have a policy on the 'right to reply', which included in the detailed guidance.

According to the Channel 4's consent policy, it states:
But however

If Sammy is reading this forum, I suggest she should make a subject access request with Channel 4 to obtain all the video footage of herself. But it's really down to her to decide.
When approached by a journalist, it's best to research the company they work for and read their policies, guidance etc.
For some users, Ofcom is the equivalent to the FCC in America.

Sammy signed the unfair contract with Zandland, not channel4.
They might be using third party companies to do the dirty work for them knowing most people will be unwilling to sue them.
The other option is going to the media but the problem here is that most of the UK media is transphobic and will not be helpful.
And the trans positive media tends to avoid talking about transmaxxing refusing to in any way help whem media is spreading misinformation about us.
