Both
- USA, 2005, 86 min.Hermaphrodites, or intersexuals, are not just subjects for mythology, freak shows or pornography. Genital ambiguity occurs in one out of every two thousand births, and countless parents around the world must make heartrending decisions about their newborn children every year. Since at least the 1950s, the birth of an intersex child (one who is neither clearly male or female) has been treated as a medical problem: doctors choose a sex, use surgery and hormones to 'normalize' the child's body then, almost universally, consign the entire issue to a silence enforced by shame and secrecy. BOTH is based on the experiences of the filmmaker, as well as those of many other intersex adults.
