Movie by POV (Point Of View)
'Who I Am Not' on the subject.
https://www.pbs.org/video/who-i-am-not-tfd9fx/

Sharon-Rose Khumalo, a South African beauty queen, faces an identity crisis after discovering she's intersex. Her path crosses with Dimakatso Sebidi, a masculine-presenting intersex activist, as they both navigate a journey marked by society’s stigma and inner struggles. Intertwining raw reality with poetic beauty, Who I am Not captures the heart-wrenching fight for acceptance in a binary world.


At one point in the movie a physician mentions the digit ratio test. Though not a universally accepted definitive measure of evidence, it is an interesting thing to check for yourself and see what you discover.

You may learn more here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digit_ratio
The most commonly studied digit ratio is that of the 2nd (index finger) and 4th (ring finger), also referred to as the 2D:4D ratio, measured on the palm side. It is proposed that the 2D:4D ratio indicates the degree to which an individual has been exposed to androgens during key stages of fetal development.


I encourage watching the film. It's truly beautifully done, brave in its storytelling and thought provoking. I've watched it three times.

If you are able, please watch it and tell me what you think.

We're all on the rainbow somewhere.

Thank you so much for sharing this, SB. ❤️
