It was a strange time in my life. I was starting to come out as genderqueer/trans, and watched it with my then partner. We felt odd afterwards because of all the issues it raised, so it warrants a rewatch for me.
Retrospectively, though, I am very pleased that a film of this subtlety came out of my native Argentina. I felt it was a very understated film that gave the topic the respect and reality it deserved. That said, while I'm a native of Argentina (and spent much of my childhood in Uruguay where my mother is from), I am not Intersex, so I would not know how someone with that experience would feel about it.
(Side note: the actor who plays Alex's father is called Ricardo Darin and he's just amazing in almost everything he's in)

I just wanted to add another conference since you're listing international ones. The Transforming Attitudes conference took place a week ago here in Ireland, and as a committee member of the Transgender Equality Network of Ireland (TENI), I was glad to be part of the organisation. It was the first legal and educational seminar on trans issues in Ireland, and it was a complete success with large attendance on both days.
This is outdated, but the list of speakers and the timetable may give a good idea of the content http://www.teni.ie/Conference
