A Film about Diversity in Sex and Gender. Because of the diversity, it's inevitable that I identify strongly with some, while being bemused and bewildered by others.
If you want to learn something about others, please view this video. I learnt a lot about people very different from myself - while recognising characteristics of my own personality and situation in others. I cried a few tears over some parts, and went "Ewwwwwww" over others. As some people go "Ewwwwww" over me.
Intermittent postings from Canberra, Australia on Software Development, Space, Politics, and Interesting URLs.
And of course, Brains...

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.
Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.
Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.
As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
Really good stuff Zoe ... I'm not sure which parts you went "ewww" to, but I didn't have that reaction to any of it.
ReplyDeleteOne disappointing aspect however was where one of the "experts" refers to homo, hetero, bi rightly as sexualities, but then adds trans and gives the misleading illusion that trans is a sexuality too.
I thought it was interesting how much the video talked specifically about how men react to various things, and how short the segments were that talked about women's experiences.
ReplyDeleteJust something I noticed.....
Educating indeed. Still, more depressing than anything: the homophobia is only one aspect of the inability to accept. What about the religious edicts, the ignorance, the bigotry... oh well.
ReplyDeleteNikola - the guy who left his family to live with his mistress in Thailand. That made me go "Ewwwwww".
ReplyDeleteIronic that he's the only person who was interviewed in the program who wasn't IS.
