Size Matters (00:11:11)The term intersex is used to describe a person whose biological sex is ambiguous. In recent years, there has been a growing movement to empower intersex people to select the gender that reflects who they are which gives them the right to have that gender expression honored. |
Gender Warriors (00:06:42)Our society has always had rigid ideas about what gender should be. Quite simply, it is male or female. But for some, male and female are not so clearly defined. This story examines gender and introduces you to some of the people who are testing those boundaries. In 1996, IN THE LIFE first aired "Gender Warriors." |
Making Music Making Changes (00:07:49)While born a woman, living as a man proved to be a means by which the talented and dynamic musician, Billy Tipton, could achieve success in the male-dominated world of jazz. |
Binary Culture (00:10:55)How do gender roles define us? How do we navigate a society where there is still great disparity between men and women...econimically, sexually, and socially? "Binary Culture," a segment from 2005, begins to explore these questions as we talk to people about what gender means to us all. |
Vanderbilt (00:02:38)On campuses across the country, students have always pushed the boundaries of tradition. "Vanderbilt" takes us to Vanderbilt University where you'll meet Everett Moran, a leader among his fellow LGBT students. |
Heterosexual Privilege (00:05:50)Same-sex marriage is a hot-button issue both nationwide and within the gay community. How is it that Betty married Helen six years ago? In "Heterosexual Privilege," we hear from this couple and learn about their remarkable relationship. |
