"How long are they suggesting to hold off on surgery?"

I saw a show on this on Discovery (I think) and years ago, they would surgically assign all such children as females, the surgery was easier. many such children were interviewed as adults and many of them felt themselves to be males who had been "therapeutically" castrated. It was a very sad and depressing story. The young adults interviewed all claimed that they wished they had never had any surgery except the one case where there was a serious urinary defect.

This is not a political issue, there are intersexed people born every day
