Baton Rouge, 1995. During a feminist studies class, college student Kristi opens her textbook to discover something that turns her world upside down. For as long as she can remember, she has felt different - now she knows why.

Demanding her medical records, Kristi is finally confronted with a devastating truth: she has been lied to all her life by those she trusted most. What begins as a personal reckoning soon unearths something far bigger, rooted in a discredited 1970s psychology experiment that falsely claimed gender can be imposed on children at birth. Once hailed as a revolutionary success, the study justified the widespread practice of unnecessary surgical interventions imposed on children without consent - procedures that still persist today.

Combining archival materials, firsthand testimony, and expert insights educating the viewer about the widely misunderstood intersex community, The Secret of Me lays bare a shocking lie affecting thousands worldwide, while spotlighting the resilience of those fighting for truth, autonomy and lasting change. This is more timely than ever as right-wing attacks on gender autonomy are gaining momentum.
