This first program in the half-hour monthly show focuses on "Sex & Gender." Nancy Nangeroni and Gordene MacKenzie speak candidly with their guest, medical sociologist, author and intersex activist Esther Morris Leidolf, about bodies and gender that differs from cultural expectations. Esther observes that intersex is more common than cystic fibrosis and Down syndrome combined. Their lively conversation explores the "medical normalization" of intersex bodies and the dangers of simplistic assumptions about sex and gender. Fans of "Raving Raven," an animal issues commentator and regular on GenderTalk radio, will also enjoy a brief appearance by the "Bird with the Word" (not included in cable version due to time constraints). GenderVision is intended for multiple audiences, and will be an excellent teaching tool for educators, organizations and libraries interested in biological and cultural diversity, sex and gender and human rights. It will also be of interest to individuals concerned about gender issues.Included on the DVD as a bonus feature is Esther Morris Leidolf's performance of her moving "Missing Vagina Monologue," which takes you through the psycho-social, medical, and deeply personal aspects of being born with an intersex body that doesn't conform to cultural 'norms.'Gordene O.
