Parents keep child's gender secret

[yhelothar]

So your idea of gender is that girl/boy is defined by whatever the dominate EFFECTIVE sex hormone is? (Not a statement of judgment, just curious)

Well I wasn't really trying to implicate that in what I mentioned. My point in that post is to reason that the child isn't going to be all messed up and confused just because the parents doesn't raise it like its a certain gender.

Chromosomally male. But with no internal genitalia. And female external genitalia. At least, from my understanding of sexual differentiation, that's what you get.

So I'd say female.


This is exactly why the parents' decision is dumb. It's like crawling up an escalator the wrong way. Just a whole lot of wasted effort and grief. I bet the parents are going to start getting all worked up about 'outside influences' when their precious little It starts getting colour/toy preferences and later. I wonder what they're going to do when It hits puberty?

What about someone who has 46XX/46XY Chimerism. There have been cases of people with this condition born with both a functioning testicle and ovary.

"Jazz and Kio have picked out their own clothes in the boys and girls sections of stores since they were 18 months old. Just this week, Jazz unearthed a pink dress at Value Village, which he loves because it “really poofs out at the bottom. It feels so nice.” The boys decide whether to cut their hair or let it grow."

Who the hell lets their 18 month old pick it's own clothes?

And Jazz, Kio, and Storm? Really?

Some fucking psychos actually cut off a piece of their sons penis at birth!

That shit is fucking disgusting and should be illegal.

Don't mutilate your child!

Disgusting? From a cleanliness standpoint it's more disgusting to leave it on. Tryoll again.

You guys are getting too worked up about this. Studies show that gender identity is more biological than something that's raised. There was a boy who's circumcision got fucked up, and they decided to give him a vagina and raised him as a girl. He had gender identity issues his whole life until his adulthood when his parents finally broke the news to him.

There was a section in my human sexuality book on him, Brenda "David" Reimer.

Result of some bad advice and then later decisions on his parents part.
