I worked on a neonatal unit. A baby was born, a boy, but his pubic area wasn't fused. They had to do surgery to make him a girl(they couldn't repair him), it was very hard on his parents. The baby did suffer, very much.

And this happens in nature in about 1 in 100,000 people, right?

I remember a news program (forget if it was 20/20 or 48 hours or 60 minutes or whatever) about a boy who had his penis burnt off during circumcision. (I didn't even know they burnt the foreskin off, I always thought it was just cut off).

The parents and doctors agreed to make the boy a girl because he had no penis. To make a long story short, the kid had and has huge emotion and psychological problems because the so-called experts (doctors) and adults (parents) didn't realize a penis is not what makes a male a male.

If someone doesn't understand this, they should never have children. Ever!

Think about it. If you were in a horrible accident and suffered severe damage to your pubic area so your sex organs were destroyed, would you cease to be a man or woman?

The doctors in your example didn’t make the boy a girl. They simply restructured his pelvic area.

They certainly did NOT have to do that.

So was the baby a boy or girl? And was the baby made a girl after being born a boy? I'm confused
