True hermaphroditism and its variations is a genetic defect. It is rare and must be diagnosed based on acceptable medical/scientific standards. Any surgical and/or medical interference by physicians that is incompatible with the medical/scientific acceptable standards of diagnosis and treatment should be banned. Period. You are either genetically born with it or you are not.
As a medical professional, it is incomprehensible to me that physicians are permitted to do so, incomprehensible to me that these physicians agree to do so, and incomprehensible to me how all of this actually started, exploded, and is now becoming the norm.
For the vast majority, we are either born a male or female. If a parent interferes with the gender identification on their child's birth certificate from birth until age 18 by seeking and obtaining hormonal treatment and/or surgical intervention, this is 100% definitive child abuse.

For Christ's sake, we are screwed.
