What Makes Us Women?

What does it mean to be born the 'wrong' gender?

In Berlin, a group of women who dress as men call themselves 'drag kings.' But it's not a game, and how does it feel to be born the 'wrong' gender?

Also on the programme: A woman whose transgender daughter has become a man speaks about coping emotionally with the process. Plus, women's breasts have played a huge symbolic role in history and art for centuries, servicing men and babies. Who 'owns' the breast?
