Are we on the cusp of discovering what determines gender? The old mantra - all girls have XX chromosomes and all boys have XY - is no longer reliable. Scientists are now looking beyond chromosomes to “brain sex” and the role of newly discovered genes. By studying transsexuals and people on the gender extremes, they believe they can unlock the gender puzzle. This high-quality documentary looks at the new and challenging science of gender.

    Actually this video discusses sex, not gender. Gender is a social construction about what it means to be masculine or feminine. That said, however, it does a great job of also saying that sex is also not a simple issue.

    The obvious …
    The obvious solution is to eliminate sex and gender from government documents, thus having everyone be equal in the eyes of the law. But of course that would undermine the basis for the new caste structures in Australia that legalize discrimination against males.
