From Declaring With Clarity, When Gender Is Ambiguous - New York Times:

    Q. Because of all this new research, is the accepted standard of care of intersex children changing?

    A. There's no one standard now. Five years ago, a genetic male child born without a penis or a severely inadequate one almost universally would have been assigned female at birth. Today, about two-thirds of the pediatric urologists say they wouldn't go that route, which means that one-third still might. That says that we're not sure of the right way, yet.

*SIGH* And someone has to pick up the pieces. We're making progress, but 2/3 is not 3/3, and lives continue to blighted just so others can feel comfortable.

The presumption of these people is often breathtaking.
