Director's statement
People always ask what drew me to make a film about intersex. That’s difficult to answer because the subject is so rich and so complex, but if I had to choose one thing it would not be the fascinating topics of gender, chromosomes or sex, it would be secrecy.

When I began my research what astonished me was not the existence of intersex people but that neither I nor anyone I knew had any awareness of their existence. How could that be when one in every 2000 people is born with some sort of intersex condition?

It became clear to me during the research for this film that the key to understanding how society and medicine should treat the intersexed is by listening to them.
Historically this has not happened as clinicians have followed a policy of non-disclosure, preferring not to reveal the truth to intersex adults, children or their parents. This policy has only served to reinforce and create the taboos of society. To say nothing of create generations of potentially unhappy and confused intersex people.

During the research for GENDER TROUBLE I interviewed many intersex women around the UK. All spoke with an openness and candour that stemmed from their desire to change the way intersex was medically managed and to also change the culture of secrecy that surrounds their conditions. However, all but four people were genuinely afraid to speak out publicly. They were afraid of losing their jobs, attracting unwanted media attention and being ostracised by friends and neighbours. The four women who made the decision to appear in this film have done so after long consideration, and with much bravery. They all have different conditions: Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia, Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, Partial Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, Leydig Cell Hypoplasia. However they are united in their belief that an end to the social and medical secrecy that surrounds their conditions is the positive way forward.

The British intersex community are hugely grateful to the four women who appear in Gender Trouble, as am I. They speak with bravery, eloquence and candour and I truly hope that this film will in some way help to promote positive change.
