Ordering information for clinicians
Copies of GENDER TROUBLE are available for training purposes within your department (hospitals, universities and libraries).
GENDER TROUBLE is a powerful 24 minute documentary in which four Intersex women openly tell the stories of their medical treatment and discuss disclosure, terminology, surgery and society’s approach to gender. They speak eloquently and with passion about their various experiences, good and bad, of living with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia, Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, Partial Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome and Leydig Cell Hypoplasia.
The medical management of intersex conditions is undergoing huge discussion and potential change at the moment.
We believe that GENDER TROUBLE will be an invaluable tool in communicating to clinicians, students and parents the real consequences of the medical treatment of intersex patients.

Some responses to the film:

Dr. Sarah Bronsdon, Medicine in Society Programme,The Wellcome Trust:
‘I thought Gender Trouble was a simply incredible piece of film - thought provoking, moving and beautiful. We have 'public engagement' as a Trust mission, and our department particularly works to raise awareness of ethical and social issues arising from biomedical science. I don’t know if I've ever seen it done better than by this film. [Gender Trouble] raises discussions at all kinds of levels.… of the stories of those women and how they have been treated; gender and identity; medical and social labelling of people; power relationships between patients and doctors (and parents and children); the impact of narrative, emotion and image in public engagement....’

Melissa Cull, AHN Founder, CAHG Secretary & Adult Support Co-ordinator:
‘I thought Gender Trouble was totally excellent and is so far the best Intersex programme I have ever seen! Thank you for making such a well structured and sensitive film.’

Dr Catherine Minto, Clinical Research Fellow, Academic Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, University College London:
‘It is imperative that intersex management progresses to avoid subsequent generations of unhappy, isolated and "deceived" people that our previous management has sometimes created. The only route to progress is through dialogue, communication and shared learning. For clinicians there is nothing as powerful and thought provoking as hearing eloquent first-hand accounts of personal experience’.
