MALITA, Davao del Sur, Philippines—Twins, each with male and female genitals, were born to a 25-year-old mother here on Tuesday.

Glory Jean Ferrer, the twins' mother, gave birth to the babies at the Malita district hospital at 7 a.m., said its resident physician, Dr. Paulito Montero.

According to Montero, the babies are hermaphrodites because they each have male and female reproductive organs.

I guess it is a good thing that they are not operating right away, but it shows how arbitrary being asigned a gender is - that one is more like a girl and because that one pees through it's 'penis' it must be a boy.....

And OF COURSE they're going to operate on them to "normalize" them... would it really be so horrible to let them grow up and decide on their own if they want to be mutilated?

Yes.  Please do NOT operate on these children to make yourself feel better:  parents and doctors.
Time will make everything apparent.

why should we let the children decide? that would be too easy!!! it's more interesting/disturbing to mutilate little children so "their" lives can be normal, when it's really the parents that want a normal life for themselves!!! how selfish!!!

Sorry, but the best thing to do is to get those children away from butchering doctors and ignorant parents.

Enough said.  Or it would Zero to B****, in 3.2 microseconds.  god That upsets me.
