What are you talking about?

"... hundreds of babies are born each year where the gender isnt clear. Prompt surgery to assign one was once the norm."
The article is referring to a condition where the child is born with both male and female sexual organs. Surgery is done almost immediately to make the Child a male or a female.
Jamie Lee Curtis had this condition.

Jamie Lee Curtis would have made a terrible man. It looks like they guessed correctly.There would be no "guessing" about cases like this. She is an XY individual with testicular feminizing syndrome. Such people are insensitive to male hormone and are completely feminized (externally) at birth, with normal female genitalia. The only treatment is removal of the undescended testes to prevent a risk for cancer.
