This inspiring Documentary, produced by two Transsexual women
in Melbourne, features the personal stories of many people who live in
the opposite gender to that of their biology and some who choose
to live in both genders. These stories show how these people have been
affected by conflict of
biological gender with brain gender.

With
narration by Jon Faine of ABC Radio 774, this thought provoking, 52 min.
programme giving an overview of Transsexualism and Transgenderism is essential
viewing for the broader medical and public education. It presents new research,
and challenges current medical beliefs and social Transsexual Stereotypes
through stories and issues covered by several people in the Transgender
Community.
Georgina Beyer, the world's first Member of Parliament (from
New Zealand) leads an impressive list of "ordinary" Transsexual
and Transgendered women interviewed. Stories and issues covered here are
presented through Captain Sarah Parry, Julie Peters (geneticist and politician),
Human Rights Activist, Ros Houston, and others who give an overview of
Transgenderism and Transsexuality from statistics to symptoms and the
path to one's Gender Identity.
The viewer is also emotionally transported by the honesty
and dignity of Karen, and other Transsexual women, Andrea, Tracy
and Catherine and their immediate families including Leigh, Pauline and
Janice. Lauren, Sally and Jay on their witty, and often insightful, long-running
radio programme, "Transmission Time" (Joy Melbourne) discuss
the diversity of gender. The portrayal of the life of Paul/Paula is a
graceful but revealing journey of the complexity of the life of a Crossdresser.
From Professors Milton Diamond (Internationally Renowned) and Frank Lewins
(Sociologist and Author), Specialist Doctors Herbert Bower, Fintan Harte
and Sven Strecker and the Very Rev. D. A. Fisher and Rev. H. Creighton,
Dr. Tonti-Fillipini, and Dr. Di. Sisely give a range of views as they
debate the many issues around
gender difference.
