Abstract

CARMONA CORCUERA, Mariajose Milagros. XXY (2007), the big decision of being intersexual. Rev Med Cine [online]. 2020, vol.16, n.1, pp.25-28.  Epub Mar 15, 2021. ISSN 1885-5210.  https://dx.doi.org/10.14201/rmc20201612528.

In this article, I will focus on the analysis of the Argentine film XXY (2007), by Lucía Puenzo. I´m interested in knowing the social and family impact that would result from having an «intersex» child since it presents one of the greatest challenges to binary social structures, as we see in the film, when its condition becomes public.

The main objective of this analysis is to show the stigma the psychological repercussions that the patient must go through when being «forced» to choose a single sex.

Keywords : intersex; social impact; sex.
