How do you account for this Bobby Boy?? What is this child? What should they have done? Things are not as clear as you would like them to be, simply because your narrow and ridged mind can't deal with nuances and ambiguity.
She's 7 and was born intersex. Why her parents elected to let her grow up without surgical intervention
Intersex is an umbrella term used to describe people born with bodies that are perceived as differing from typical "male" and "female" categories.
She had two X chromosomes, so doctors considered her female, but she had external anatomy that appeared more traditionally male.
I do not deny the existence of genetic and hormonal aberrations, such as the child in this article. But such abnormalities do not disprove the basic biological fact, that outside of these rare cases, we are all unambiguously male or female, based on our genetics and morphology, and not on how we claim to
“identify” or
“feel”.
Your argument is
bullshit, of course. Nothing about the existence of intersex persons supports the notion that one who is not afflicted with intersexism can be, in any meaningful way, the opposite of his biological sex. If you have XX or XY chromosomes, and a physical morphology that matches what those chromosomes should indicate, then you are of the sex corresponding to that pattern, and it is madness to claim otherwise.
You didn't even bring up a particularly good intersex case on which to try to base your argument. The child, in this case, is XX, but has an ambiguous morphology. The XX means that she's undeniably female, her body just has failed to properly develop according to her sex. If she has gonads, and if those gonads become functional when she reaches puberty, they will be ovaries, and will produce egg cells, as well as female hormones, which will very likely cause her to develop an unquestionably female figure. Morphology is controlled by hormones, which can go wrong according to a variety of issues, but the development of the gonads is strictly determined by genetics. XX gonads always develop into ovaries, and if they become functional, they produce ova, while XY gonads always develop into testicles, and if they become functional, they produce sperm.
