What Sex Am I?
Most people don't question their sexual identity: they're either male or
female. But for transsexuals and transvestites, that distinction is not
so simple. In this film they get to tell their own stories.

I disagree. I think most people DO question their sexual "identity", or
at least their sexuality with respect to what they believe they "should"
be (i.e. macho vs. feminine).
I also believe that sexuality is not black and white, but shades of
grey, just as most everything in life is. Most people, however, are
afraid to admit that they may not be 100% male/female in fear of who
knows what -- religion? Status quo? Peer pressure?
Many people seem to hide behind their sexuality if they are "lacking" in
other areas or are too caught up in it. I find that "hanging out" with
the GLBT community (for the most part) is very useful in being
comfortable with your sexuality, and all shades between male
heterosexual and female heterosexual. The "for the most part" only comes
when dealing with something of a reverse-heterosexual standard (GLBT
people can only be with other GLBT people because others just aren't
"good enough").
