Bravo to that doctor to pay attention to the facts. Now we need the laws to catch up. So send that story to your local representative.

Hi you two,

Thanks for those links. It's a crime for what can happen to intersexed children.

It is especially traumatic to listen to the stories of doctors who lied to parents and then did the opposite of what they told them they were going to do.

One example is a doctor who told the parents something else needed to be done to the child to prevent X thing from happening to the child's life. The parents let the doctor know that under no circumstances was he to alter the child's sex. He didn't listen and removed the child's penis. The child is now a man and is suing the doctor. I think he should not only be sued, but should lose his license to practice medicine ever.

Thanks again. These links are very important to a very important cause, which I define as knowledge.
