My students are wonderful, and find some great things for me. Here are two that others might find useful: 1. A short video telling about David Reimer's suicide. He's the "As Nature Made Him" young man born with an identical twin brother, but raised as a girl after a tragic surgical accident during his circumcision. I've shown longer videos I have in class, but they're time-consuming, and often take up more time than I want to devote to his particular story. This link (with, TRAGICALLY, an unfortunate misspelling - aarrgghhh) sums up the story in about 6 minutes: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2tzxl_man-raised-as-girl-dies-tragicly_politics
2. This one is a shortened video that sums up much of the "Is It a Boy or a Girl?" video about intersex children. It has two of the people on the original people shown on that video, including Howard DeVore, the therapist who works with intersexed people. It's 13 minutes long. http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=5165113 Beth Benoit Granite State College Plymouth State University New Hampshire -- "We will not learn how to live in peace by killing each other's children." - Jimmy Carter "Are our children more precious than theirs?" --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([email protected])
