“The first question any new parent asks… “Is it a boy or a girl?”
What if it’s neither?
1 in 2,000 babies is born with genitalia so ambiguous that the doctors cannot easily answer this question.
In this groundbreaking documentary, intersex individuals reveal the secrets of their unconventional lives – and how they have navigated their way through this strictly male/female world, when they fit somewhere in between.”
The film is 1 hour 8mins and will be followed by an open discussion.
Please note: there is some graphic discussion of surgery, genitalia and medical trauma.
To join the screening please email mara.gold@classics.ox.ac.uk for the Zoom link. Sign-ups close 30mins before event starts.
