Depicting the startling reality of many intersex people’s lives offers what Cohen called “a holy crap element.”“I like a holy crap documentary,” she said. In light of David Reimer’s death, did you purposely choose people who were already public about being intersex? They feel like that’s something they do on command and that’s part of their activism. Someone had literally checked ambiguous, crossed it out and then checked female. And whatever surgeries are necessary to lock down this baby being female, that’s what we’re going to do.
