Great show that focuses on East Germany and the 1976 olympic women who were forced to unknowingly take male hormones during training. I thought it was very informative but would have like to see them focus on weightlifting. video.pbs.org/video/1239877248/program/1185782726#p.s. its an hour long so grab some popcorn. btw. the other secrets of the dead programs are good too.

One "woman" eventually had gender changing surgery years later so she could live as a man and marry another East German athelte. They focused on the swim team because during the 70's they dominated.

ya, they mentioned that in the video too. This must be where they figured out about changing sex with hormone therapy. So I guess we have East Germany to thank for the invention of the shemale.

nice, I like grey areas in general but a gender grey area is just hilarious.
