Good for you momma, you sound like a great mom. You love your son for who he is and not what he has. I hope all is well and everyone is healthy.

there must be laws put in place protecting infants from doctors and all forms of sexual alteration's/mutilations, 1 of 100 are born with what is considered not standard gentiles, however what society thinks is normal may not be normal for that individual who is intersex.

This is so sad. Did the doctor have to pay smart money? Did he lose his job? I don't know about the US, but in Germany you can easily sue a doctor for damages, if something like this happens.This is unbelievable! Only a Nazi would do such a thing.

I did my H.S junior research project on inter-sexed conditions, and often wonder what I would do if I were to have a intersexed child of my own. It really is a complex situation.

That was so sad. I felt so bad for the family and the little boy who have to go through that. That doctor was in no way right to do that. I would never do that to a child, children are born as they should be.

You are referring to the life of David Reimer. Reimer was NOT born intersexed. He was a normal male child whose penis was completely destroyed during circumcision at age 7 months. David Reimer was surgically reassigned as female and his parents attempted to raise him that way. The abuse of harmful, unnecessary genital reducing surgeries on healthy children, male, female and intersex continues.
