This episode of Outright Radio consists of two pieces about gender difference. In the first, a person born as a woman explains how he has always personally identified as a man, and how he then became a man, socially. In the second, a woman who identifies sometimes as a man, sometimes as a woman talks about how gender fluctuates in her life and how she uses that fluctuation to make social and political points.

I find this topic very interesting, however, I was left a little disappointed by this show, which is basically two interviews with some narration. Gender is a such a hot topic and passions around it run so high, yet these people all speak very dispassionately about their own lives. I would have loved to hear some moments from these peoples every day experiences and the experiences of those around them. They talk a lot about controversial things, but I never heard the controversy itself.

On the other hand, perhaps for some this would be a plus. Rational conversation about controversial topics is few and far between these days.

All in all, I'm rating this a three because the subject is by its very nature an exciting and interesting one. However, I'm not sure this show would reach out, grab me and hold my interest.
