The father who complimented the first child said she is the best of both genders. I think that was most accepting and loving thing I've ever heard. And I think having your child know they are intersex from infancy is a really great policy.

Absolutely and not doing surgery until the child had decided. Obviously, their body will react better to one gender hormone than the other.

As a mother of a SWCAH girl who was born in 1976 I want to share one very important thing...we were paid to go to Cornell twice so they could study her, the one thing I think we did that is so valuable, and the experts there agreed, was we never forced her into any "rules" for gender. We raised her as who she was, girly sometimes, tomboy often, and now self declared asexual ..not stuck in either set of rules, just free to be who she is! And she is beyond amazing in my opinion. . .and many others share that opinion also!

I love how the first family is raising their children with bodily autonomy and pride in who they are. I wish more intersex people were blessed with supportive families like them. The doctor who said that it was impossible to have an intersex child be raised in a happy environment unless he cosmetically altered her genitals is proven dead wrong by the first family.

I'm feeling HORRIFIED that they considered cutting Bianca's clitoris - that would have been genital mutilation on a baby. And then calling it a "compromise" to construct a vagina. Doctors who seriously act upon beliefs like "of course Bianca would have to look like a little girl because she was a little girl (21:37) should loose their license, at the very least. This is exactly how normal variations get pathologized and so much harm is caused. Also, they are giving this baby cortison and feminizing hormones? That she will be dependent on for the rest of her live? That is just... so unneccessary and unconsensual. My heart breaks for Bianca

At 42 years old...during legal discovery for an injury lawsuit..I found out I had gender assignment surgery to male when I was 5 years old. I stuggled my whole life with sexual relationships...I retained the appropriate size genitalia of a five year old for many years until things shrunk in my mid 30's. All the years suffering from gymnopobia...feeling less then a man...and the truth comes out in court. I'm now accepting of my body, understanding I was born biologically ambiguous...and strongly feel that gender assigning children is morally wrong.

The ocean of difference between the family who raised their intersex children with full transparency and letting their kids know from the getgo about their intersexuality and the family who raised their intersex child as a secret is insane. The kids raised knowing about it are happier, healthier, with good selfesteem and have a positive outlook on their selves and lives. It seems like the other gal's life is completely the opposite. Her life and outlook is so dim and grey. Being intersex is not an illness and not something to hide or be ashamed of.

Well, there's also a difference in class, in that Louise is from a single parent, working class home and environment, as opposed to the other kids who are from two parent families and obviously a more middle/upperclass, educated family and environment. Louise is older than those other kids and that also plays a big part in the difference, but money and resources and education are big contributing factors to the differences.

Gender is a social construct. You can be however you want to be, do whatever you want to do, date whomever you want to date, with any set of genitals you have. This is also why I wish doctors would not operate on children with ambiguous genitalia if it's not medically necessary, and why I wish trans people would stop mutilating and removing their genitals. In the end, Jerry, you are not inherently a boy or a girl, because boys and girls aren't specifically one way or another. Stop internalizing stereotypes. You are simply a human being.

I really admire her choice to not be resentful about what has happened to her or resentful towards her mother, who truth be told is as blameless as Louise. Both are victims as well as victors.

I think it's significant that with the first family both parents are clearly very well educated and quite intellectual. This maybe gave them the strength and confidence to not hush things up and be ashamed of the condition, as the doctors were suggesting they should be. Louise's poor Mum perhaps has a more working class background and therefore would be more likely to subscribe to the old ' doctors know best and you do as they say' attitude that was common in years gone by. The doctors told her to hush it all up, implying that it was some kind of shameful secret, and she did, and poor Louise -and her Mum- suffered because of it.

I had a partner for about 5 years who had Kleinfelters's syndrome. Genetic trisomy where every cell in their body was XXY. Normally a genetic male XY and a genetic female is XX. So, in my opinion, this was purely a medical condition and should be treated as such. They had been raised from birth as male. But, as puberty began to hit and they grew older wanted to transition into a more female identity. By the time I knew them, they were wearing female clothing and during our relationship we began seeking more supportive care in a dedicated medical center for trans medical care. Eventually, they began using a female name and dressing full time as a female. I was completely fine with this. They took estrogen and developed breasts. Having a supportive, loving partner is very important to the challenges these people face in addition to just living as being intersex. I wish everyone living with these issues the very best moving forward. Since I have been very familiar with how difficult it can be just to live. Close up.

@@chrissnyder8108 oh you are so welcome Chrissnyder! When you decide to enter into a relationship with somebody who has this kind of condition, I simply thought of it as a medical problem much like a birth defect. That they had had since they were born with. Entirely out of their control since it was genetic. My position since I wanted to be a good partner to them was to be supportive of whatever decisions they felt necessary in their own life. I have never been a person who has walked in consideration of what most of society thinks about me. So, I simply approached them in the beginning and said perhaps we could be friends. There are so many variations of how gender identities may be possible in this world today beyond the typical male or female identity. It is not my prerogative to dictate to anyone who or what they should be in their lives. It is however, very typical for persons who are questioning their gender identities to have a period of time when they might need to seek out information or vacillate between the identities they feel comfortable with expressing in public. Therefore, finding a trustworthy person to whom they can confide in is very important. In today's political climate, being able to access the appropriate medical and psychological counseling that is necessary for appropriate gender identities care can be very important. I highly recommend that for anyone who thinks they could benefit from these types of measures that they seek out the most appropriate medical care at the earliest, possible timing. And, for their partners and other family members I wish you all the best! It can be very difficult for you TOO to find the support you need.

Tests will only be carried out in certain cases. Sometimes, differences become apparent in adolescence, other times when couples experience fertility problems, or sometimes only when something unusual is found by accident during other tests, procedures or surgery. Other times, people only discover what their own doctors and parents knew all along after years of gender dysphoria and sexual confusion.

Fortunately, intersex adults and enlightened medical professionals are driving forward lawsuits against doctors who fancy that they "know better" from external appearances -- before testing or internal examination. Some adults who have gone through the anguish of gender dysphoria and transgender treatment have discovered that they may have been victims of "corrective" surgery as an infant, then they were raised according to stereotypes, which conflicted how they felt.

It was all normal for this child! I do understand what they mean. It must be rather confusing for a parent, and they would expect their child to be just as confused, in a society that never discussed such matters. Myself,I found a book on anatomy when I was around 13 years old, which had photos of intersex in it, so had a bit of extra education, although I don't remember speaking of it.

CAH is very different than hermaphrodism. The baby is genetically a female. Nothing was done to her that was inappropriate. Furthermore, her mom & surgeon left the enlarged clitoris for the girl to decide what her preferences are later. Looking at the scan, there were functional anatomical abnormalities that were simply corrected. It looked like an appropriate & necessary intervention.

Its so sad that people think its okay to have cosmetic surgery (or any form of modification) done on their babies' genitals just because they are different or have "undesirable characteristics". It should be entirely the choice of the child once they are old enough to decide. The fact that surgeons are even willing to perform cosmetic surgery or modifications that are not necessary on baby genitals in this day and age especially is so upsetting to me. Same for providing hormone therapy to a child too young to consent, aside from hormone blockers in the case of puberty beginning prematurely. Its even worse that there are so many people who struggle for years to obtain any gender-affirming care while these poor children are having their genitals and hormones forcefully altered. Shame.

Don't multilate or remove parts of your child unless it is actively hurting them. If your child being intersex is actively going to harm them, then please make the right decision and do what is best for your child's health. But if there is no medical reason, do not remove parts of your child. If your child grows up and decides they want to have surgery to remove a part of themself they are uncomfortable with, then that is their choice. It is not a parents place to make such a personal and important choice for their child. Respect your children's body and their choice.

What kills me about these operations on children too young to consent, is something like 25% of the time, the child ends up rejecting their assigned gender.

Watching that literal baby have surgery on their genitals was so hard to watch and process. Why not let the child grow up and decide for themselves? The mother wants the child to have a ''normal'' life but that won't be the case regardless of the surgery. The child will find out about their intersex, and it's so uncommon, it is abnormal.

I had a professor like this in college for differential equations. One of the best profs. The good thing is we just addressed him/her as Dr. so and so. We had no idea which sex is more dominant.

For people with this condition, I think it's pretty cool that as a society we're moving in a direction where they wouldn't have to "move away to a new place for a fresh start where noone knows us" if they wanted to embrace a different gender.
