Intersexion by Grant Lahood on youtube

This is a must-see! So far the best documentary because it lets intersex people speak for themselves and as the true experts. And what you get is the understanding that intersex people are incredible people, a valuable contribution to our culture and society. It is nothing less than a crime what has being done to intersex people and what is unfortunately still going on to this day! Leave us be as we are, protect our human rights of bodily integrity and self determination.
boys and girls, make way, here we come!

Documentary Intersexion. Is He Or Isn't She? 10 Jul 2011
A Grant Lahood directed documentary which features the story of Mani Mitchell and looks at how intersex people navigate their way through life will screen on TV One in July.
Intersexion points out the little known statistic that one in 2,000 babies is born with genitalia that is so ambiguous no-one can tell if the child is male or female.
"I was shocked to discover just how common intersex conditions are in the world," Lahood says. "Yet it was something I, like a lot of people, assumed was incredibly rare."
Intersexion follows the very stories of a variety of people who identify as neither male nor female, including Wellington's Mani Mitchell, who was christened as a boy but grew up as a girl, after surgery to feminise her body.
Manil always felt different to her siblings, but it wasn't until she was in her 40s that she finally discovered her medical records and the truth about her intersex birth.
Mani says "I hope this documentary will show everyone that the 'shame and secrecy' model hasn't worked - and that intersex children can grow up to make informed choices about their own bodies"

Jetho Tull member was born intersex

former David PalmerDavid Palmer in the 1970´s
Dee (former David) Palmer of the band Jethro Tull was born intersex: "My mother told me something and it became very evident to me once I was able to make comparisons. I was born into what was called the intersex space; there was clear and obvious genital ambiguity. I had to have surgery when I was only a few hours old. I had my last surgery when I was 28 years of age. The only people I was able to make my observations from growing up were my brothers. Once I became aware of the female shape and constitution I knew something was seriously wrong."

You can find the full interview here

On Wikipedia the fact of being intersex is not mentioned, instead the article focuses on Dee Palmers m/f transition.
