Event Information
FILM: No Box for Me, an Intersex Story
M and Deborah, like an estimated 1.7% of people, were born intersex; with sex characteristics different from the binary understanding that everyone must be either male or female. Sometimes, such differing characteristics are clear from birth. In other cases, the variations might not be apparent until puberty. As many others in their situation, M and Deborah were both subjected to invasive surgery while they were only children, uncomprehending of what was being done to them. This documentary looks at how many intersex persons, later in life, attempt to reclaim ownership of their own bodies and identities.
