Ambiguous Genitalia

Tweet

As far as transgender things go.......I have heard some horror stories which make me even more sensitive to the transgender's problems. Ambiguous genitalia is a rare condition. This is when the external genitals don't appear or are not clearly either male or female. In some cases, the external sex organs may not match the internal ones. When this is made apparent to the parents they may go ahead and choose which sex and the other is surgically removed. Or, one sex is restructured. I think this can cause a lot of turmoil and psychological issues down the road for the child. This is where I have a problem. Why choose for the child? Why not wait until they are older, talk to them about it, and let them choose? How dare the parents make this decision for them? I see this as a reason for some of the transgender issues in young adults. Not all. I understand this isn't a common condition. But, this is what I think of when I see things in the media about young people having identity issues. Have their parents made an unfair decision for them when they were infants? This could be one of the issues. Your thoughts.
