"Diagnosing Difference," a full-length documentary featuring interviews with transgendered people, explored the impact of Gender Identity Disorder and the implications of its place in the American Psychological Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

Organized by Susan Murray, an associate professor of sociology, The film was followed by a discussion panel, was shown in the Engineering building, and attended by 120 people.

The documentary was produced and directed by Annalise Ophelian, a San Francisco-based human sexuality consultant. She said she made the documentary because she felt it was the best way to portray the individual voices and experiences of transgendered people.
