Interesting issue.  The article reminded me of a NGC (National Geographic Channel) program I saw, "Gender Revolution: A Journey with Katie Couric."  There are some people born (do not know how rare or common it may be) as genetically intersex human beings.  In the old days (1950s into the 80s) babies born with "underdeveloped" genitals were surgically assigned as either male or female.  Most of these kids, growing up, identified with the gender they were most comfortable with.  So some who were assigned being female preferred to be male and vice versa.  That fact, along with the fact that in many other animal species, such as fish, for example, can change their genders naturally blows the fundamentalist argument of gays and transgenders not being born that way or "not part of God's natural order of things" out of the water sky high.  But we all know that asshat Christians are not interested in facts, just in what they can get away with imposing on the rest of society.

All I can tell you is that from my time in the NICU (80's) when there was ambiguous genitalia, for what ever reasons (and there are multiple), the physicians recommendation was to make the child phenotypically female.
