Just watched an interesting documentary about transsexuals. Called, of course, Middle Sexes...
Here is a review from the N.Y. Times...
Acclaimed author Gore Vidal narrates this international exploration of blurring gender roles in a documentary that seeks to open a constructive dialogue regarding the social roadblocks and family problems faced by transgender, intersexual, and bisexual men and women from a variety of cultures.
From the United States to Europe, Asia, and South America, filmmakers speak with both the people who have experienced these prejudices firsthand and the scientific and academic experts who seek to take into account the entire spectrum of sexual behavior in hopes of using education to promote tolerance and diversity.
