SUMMARY:Pulse
DESCRIPTION:A gay Disabled teenage boy chooses to swap his body for that of a non-disabled cisgender woman\, seeing this as the only way he can be loved.

SUMMARY:Intersexion
DESCRIPTION:Is it a boy? Is it a girl? What if it’s neither? This award-winning doc explores the world of intersex people – those born with any one of a large number of variations that make their gender ambiguous according to traditional binary ideals. Presenter Mani Bruce Mitchell\, one of New Zealand’s first out intersex people\, and director Grant Lahood locate interviewees willing to share their experiences. They discuss living in a society with a restricted view of gender which\, at best\, has made them all but invisible and\, at worst\, has subjected many to damaging ‘corrective’ surgery. \nFollowed by a discussion with Joe Holliday from the UK’s first Intersex NGO Intersex UK and film critic and activist Jennie Kermode. \nACCESS: Level access at entrance with lift up to first floor for Theatre space. Accessible toilets on first floor (CCA). Film screening with subtitles for D/deaf and hard of hearing access. BSL interpretation for discussion. Audio description available. Film in English language.\n \n£5 / £4 conc / Free for unemployed and asylum seekers. Festival pass £40 / £30 conc. All prices include booking fee. \nTo book tickets\, please use the button below or call CCA box office on +44 (0)141 352 4900. \n[bra_button text=’Buy Tickets’ url=’https://ccaglasgow.ticketsolve.com/shows/873562018/events’ target=’_blank’ size=’medium’ style=’rounded’ color=’pink’]
