A look at the lives of three people who are intersexed, people who have the sexual traits of both sexes. It recounts their stories of their growing up and coming to terms with who they really are as opposed to who they were assigned to be by a medical community who didn't know what they should do.
This is a very good film that will open up the eyes of most people. The dirty secret that no one wants to talk about is laid bare as we discover that more people are born this way than you would think. It also shows that the medical community's desire to assign a sex because it will make everything better is based on a single case that went horribly wrong- and was never followed up on by anyone because it would require rewriting of the literature.
I was moved.
This was a really good film - see it and have you eyes opened.
