Plot

Exploitation queen Doris Wishman directs this documentary-style grindhouse epic that explores the curious medical phenomenon known as "gender dysphoria" and affords steely-nerved viewers the opportunity to witness firsthand a medically performed gender transformation from man to woman. In addition to numerous interviews with post-ops, drag-queens, and bull-dykes, this unflinching look at the culture of gender-bending also explores the sexual mysteries of the transsexual cult and restores the notorious "chisel" scene previously censored in the original U.S. theatrical release. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Let Me Die a Woman (1978) is a semi-documentary film by exploitation film director Doris Wishman, who started production in 1972.

Plot

The film features interviews with sex reassignment surgeon Dr. Leo Wollman and various transsexuals.

Between the interviews, there are re-enactments or dramatizations of the interviewees' experiences, such as one woman who didn't wait long enough after surgery before she took a man home, and her new vagina started to bleed because it hadn't been given enough time to heal after the surgery.

The film was released on DVD in 2006.
