67:24	Christie Lee Littleton made history earlier this year when the Texas Supreme Court denied her right to sue an insurance company for the wrongful death of her husband by declaring her a "male" despite her having a vagina and other female appearance characteristics. The court argued her marriage was invalid because her chromosomes (which were never tested) were "male". Christie Lee is currently challenging, with the aid of a group of transgender attorneys, the ruling that she is a male, a ruling that can affect us all. Christie Lee tells her story, in her own words.
