Sex Unknown

Many babies are born intersex with genitals that did not fully develop in the womb. In such situations, most doctors declare a state of medical emergency, and quickly move to operate in an effort to "fix" the child and give it the appearance of either a male or female. But this intervention is not always welcome: Many intersex adults that were surgically changed in infancy now insist they should have been given a choice in the matter. In many cases the gender they were assigned at birth does not match the gender they grew to believe they were. This begs a larger question: How much of our gender identity is formed by nature and how much by nurture? "Sex: Unknown" delves into the complex world of gender identity.

John Money was a liar, and his lies have altered lives in ways they can never recover from. Mine was just one of the lives he changed with his lies. My whole life was founded on lies.

It sucks doesn't it? The grass is always greener on the other side.

Also, you can't always get what you want. But if you try sometimes, you get what you need.

I think it was because the Bruce/ "Brenda" was incredibly private about the matter up until he did this documentary, he refused to do interviews, etc.
