Society and Diversity
Bryan A. Pfleeger | Metairie, Louisiana United States | 07/22/2007
(3 out of 5 stars)

"Antony Thomas' Middle Sexes explores diversity within sexuality that makes all people unique. Focusing on transgender issues accross society that film helps to create the feeling that diversity is good and that one of the keys to peaceful coexistence is tolerance for all views.



The film's most powerful message is that there is no one real normal definition of human sexuality. All life is neither black nor white, male nor female. Everything and everyone is made up of shades of gray.



The film makes its point by intoducing the viewer to other cultures where the idea of transgender roles are more accepted than in our own. We travel to India to learn about the Hindu third sex and to Thailand to get the insights of the Ladyboy community.



This is a quite good documentary produced by Sheila Nevins for HBO. While it offers no stunning conclusions its message of diversity and tolerance is well appreciated."
GREAT HELP FOR HOMOPHOBICS

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I USED TO HAVE MANY MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT GAY,LESBIAN,TS,TG, ETC

I USED TO HAVE MANY ISSUES ACCEPTING MY GAY SON

THIS DOCUMENTARY OPENED MY EYES & MIND TO THEIR WORLD

I WISH IT WAS AVAILBLE IN SPANISH, THIS IS A VERY DIFFICULT FACT TO ACCEPT IN OUR HISPANIC CULTURE, IF ANY BODY HAS TRANSLATED OR WANTS TO TRANSLATE IT OR AT LEAST SUB-TITLE IT, LETS DO IT !!! I WANT TO GIVE A COPY TO MANY "CLOSED MINDED" RELATIVES IN MEXICO."
Very well-made and informative documentary
Z. Freeman | Austin, TX | 05/10/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This 75 minute documentary delves into the topic of sexual identity and sexual orientation across cultures, ages, and even into the animal kingdom. What is revealed is that the border between male and female isn't as cut and dry as we are led to believe in our western society.



Middle Sexes addresses many controversial topics, including the development of human sex organs in the first trimester, hermaphroditic animals, transgender lifestyles, violence against people with differing sexual identities and many other related points of interest. What this documentary really points out is that while human nature and biology thrives on variance, society frowns upon it. By showing different cultures and the way they address sexuality, this documentary really provides some eye-opening insight into human sexuality."
