MSNBC's 'Born in the Wrong Body: A Change of Heart'

I knew that I wanted to write a post about 'Born in the Wrong Body: A Change of Heart' before it even aired, especially so because many of my friends told me they were reluctant or nervous about watching it for themselves. As someone who has not made a gender transition even once (let alone twice, or even three times!) I felt I could view it dispassionately and objectively.
However, after seeing it, I found myself affected in quite unexpected ways. The aspects that I expected to feel negatively about were just not there, and my overall reaction was very mixed - finding both positive and negative emotions rolling together leaving me ... somewhat neutral. I have decided simply to write a synopsis of what we were shown, and leave it up to the reader to come to their own conclusions. I'm sure if this spurs you to watch the show, you can find it on YouTube, or coming up in MSNBC's frequent re-run schedule.
