Metamorphosis: Man Into Woman (1990)

For the tens of thousands of people who are unhappy with their gender, a condition known as gender dysphoria, a sex change seems to be the answer. In this program, Gary, who has felt awkwardness at being male even as a child, elects to take the big step at the age of 36. 'Metamorphosis: Man Into Woman' traces his progress over a three-year period as he endures the physical procedures necessary to look like a woman. These involve electrolysis to deal with facial hair, hormone replacement, and plastic surgery. His co-workers share their thoughts, and Gary learns that womanhood has its complexities when he transforms into Gabi.
