Gender Puzzle

The first 10 minutes of an Australian documentary from a few years ago.

Please Note: Four Corners would like to point out that in no way is our program drawing any comparisons between "intersex" conditions and transsexualism.
*SIGH*

Subject: Academic rigidity post id: 703
I am currently preparing an honours dissertation from a gender perspective. The current academic orthodoxy is basically feminist/freudian with the scales tipping heavily towards nurture.
Can anyone suggest a way to introduce the issues raised tonight without committing academic suicide?
*SIGH* Squared.

Things are better now than they were in 2005. But we still have a long way to go.

Not even brave enough to make a nod that transsexuality is probably nueral intersexing and there is evidence to suport it?
