Yeah, you’re right about that.
But even if they could just wait long enough to give the parents time tovarjust from the shock. I honestly don’t understand why the big rush.
It’s not as if a baby (clothed) is easily identifiable as male or female. Strictly speaking, a gender label isn’t an absolute necessity until entering school.
After seeing this one documentary in which numerous adult intersex folks told their life experiences, It caused me to think “what would I do if I gave birth to an intersex child?”
Aside from immediate friends and family, who else in society at large would need to know absolutely. People in the grocery store or whatever can make whatever assumptions they want.
I guess that may sound a bit too naively optimistic, but it’s still better than surgery.
And hopefully somewhere around three or four, the child might give some indications by their play behavior or whatever which direction the inner gender ID is heading. That way it would up the chances of guessing right by the time school age arrives.
Personally, I think anything would be better than premature surgery.
