Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Phoebe Hart is a young Australian documentary filmmaker. She has made a documentary about her very personal story, being born intersex, her family's secrecy surrounding her condition and how she found out about it as a teenager. She talks about the implications it has had on her life and relationships. Her documentary: Orchids - My Intersex Adventure not only tells her story, but features other people living with intersex conditions. (31”²50”³)

Aside from the lack of advertising, one of the really good things with public service radio is the in-depth interviews. This is no exception.

Radio New Zealand's Kathryn Ryan, host of the Nine to Noon show, interviewed Phoebe on Wednesday 30 November.

IMHO, this is definitely worth a listen, particularly if you want to write about intersex conditions, but have no direct knowledge.

Thanks for this

Very interesting. It proves that change is very slow and the medical profession often still has a 'we know best' attitude, like the one I encountered in the late-1960's.

I just listened to it...

And now I'm interested in seeing the documentary...

However, it would seem it is only being shown in full at film festivals for the time being.
