On the Male Side of Middle
Description
I have never identified as female, and this has been an incredible burden for me over the years. So wrote Caitlin, now Calvin, in the time leading up to his decision to have gender reassignment surgery. In this program, filmed a year after he began transitioning from a female body and a year after marrying his partner Sharon, Calvin and his family share their thoughts on the change and the ways in which it did - and didn't - affect their relationships.
