Adventures in the gender trade
This documentary examines the life and work of Kate Bornstein, a San Francisco playwright and transsexual lesbian. Using Kate's play "Hidden: a gender" as a backdrop, this documentary explores the cultural dynamics of gender. Kate's work questions the usefulness of our current bipolar gender system. Through Kate's humor and intelligence, her life and art, "Adventures in the gender trade" exposes viewers to the value of honoring rather than alienating people who do not fit neatly into society's rigid gender system.

Intercut with her satiric night club act called "Hidden: A Gender," are the stories of a wide range of people who refused to have their identity defined by whether they were born male or female. We are thus presented with a spectrum of colorful gender anomalies: drag queens, transsexuals, cross dressers, gays and lesbians ... and those who refuse to be categorized. They want the right to be not "male" or "female," but whatever they choose in between. Why, they ask, must we have a bipolar gender system, when some other cultures can accommodate diversity? Academics including Dr. Walter Williams, anthropologist, and David Halperin, of M.I.T. encourage a reevaluation of traditional thinking, and a distinction between gender orientation and sexual preference. Adventures in the Gender Trade is guaranteed to provoke discussion!"@en
