Religions believe it's a sin to like another person of the same sex and the government says weather or not they should have the same rights as a non-homosexual person to join the arm forces. So what would be the case in an intersex person? Can they be accepted with open arms to do what ever they want, and to choose whom ever they want to be with? Statistics say no. So that's why there aren't more and more people like Max and Tammy that come out telling there stories to others. .
Another case we had in the movie was young Patrick. Patrick was also born intersex, but unlike the others he is still young and hasn't experience the same trails and tribulations both Max and Tammy has. Patrick was born intersex and adopted by a couple. From the minute he came out the doctors knew that his was a case of an intersex child and wanted to make him a girl rather then a boy. When telling her the information she accepted the fact that Patrick was intersex and said to leave him as be that she will raise him as a male. Patrick was born with a small penis, ovaries, and one testical that could be seen. In most cases the doctors think that intersex children should be raised as a female as was the case in both Max and Tammy. Being that Patrick had a testical and a penis his adopted mother wanted to raise him a boy. The doctors fought with her desperately to make this child a female but she refused. After weeks of trying the doctors tricked his parents in to taking Patrick in for a test to see if the testical had cancer. When doing the test they removed his testical and lied about what they found just so that he can be raised as a girl. Non-the less It was found out by Patrick's" parents that they did in fact remove his testical without consent and they are being sued today. Listening to this story I was in shock of the brutal reality that this society lives in. Basically if Patrick wasn't what they consider it to be a normal male they thought it would be in best case to raise it as a female.
