Sex Change Hospital on Channel 4
This six-part series, previously seen on More 4, has caused quite a stir among the critics. Giving us a behind-the-scenes look at a sex-change hospital in Trinidad, Colorado, everyone rates the series - saying that the human stories are very moving - but warn that the surgery is exceedingly graphic, so it's not for the squeamish.

Fa'afafine definition still shaky
FA'AFAFINE: (pronounced fah-ah-fuh-fee-nay) means "like a woman" in Samoan, and describes a third gender, with characteristics both male and female.
There's disagreement among anthropologists about the origins of fa'afafine, but there's evidence of their presence in Samoa over atleast the last century, though some anthropologists believe they were part of Samoan culture for much longer. Many other Pacific island cultures have similar words for a third-gender person born male but seen as female.
