I wasn't sure about this going into it, or coming out of it for that matter, but this is watchable and is also rather creepy. A legitimate sex change doctor, Leo Wollman, is our host and there's plenty of dialog and demonstrations and yes, even a bit of a real operation for your viewing unease, as a man becomes a woman. There's lots of talk about the "third sex", people who are the opposite sex trapped in the body of their birth, and how unhappy they are/were, until they had this operation. There are actually very few of these characters that look like what they're supposed to look like though. There's even some scenes of one "he-she" hooking in Central Park and bringing some guy home, even though apparently no "real" sex act was performed since the "john" may have noticed that this babe still had a penis. Probably every man's nightmare. There's also a "re-enaction" of what happened when one man decided he couldn't take anymore, and needed the operation, but couldn't afford it, so decided to do it with a hammer and chisel, with, of course, predictable results, eyow. This is not for the faint of heart or stomach, and is best viewed by those with a real appreciation for trash and the very strange. 6 out of 10, proceed with caution.
