My teacher showed this video today in class, but I wasn't able to write down some of the information in the video and I need to write a two page review about the documentary.

Do any of you guys know where I can find a copy of this video? I found it on ISNA.org but I don't want to pay $75 for the video. My teacher said she will not lend the video to anyone and it's not at the campus library.

Or, if no one has the video, but has seen it, can you give me a few more points to talk about? So far I will be talking about these points from the video:

* Surgically changing genitalia
* Parents leading child to believe they are one gender
* Society needing to label as a boy or girl
* Society believing hermaphrodites are "abormal"

If anyone can suggest a few more points to discuss in my review of the documentary it would be greatly appreciated.

This woman gives birth to a baby, and afterwards, the doctor comes in, and he says, "I have to tell you something about your baby."
The woman sits up in bed and says, "What's wrong with my baby, Doctor? What's wrong?"
The doctor says, "Well, now, nothing's wrong, exactly, but your baby is a little bit different. Your baby is a hermaphrodite."
The woman says, "A hermaphrodite... what's that?"
The doctor says, "Well, it means your baby has the... er... features... of a male and a female."
The woman turns pale. She says, "Oh my god! You mean it has a penis... AND a brain?"

Anatomy fail.

Girls do not have a penis.
