I'm not exactly sure if banning is a good diea, but yeah there's something wrong about these surgeries and something should be done about them.

While I agree that the practice is wrong, we need to consider the parents' rights and needs in this matter.

Nope, nope, nope, you are infringing on the rights of parents to decide for their children how they want them to be.

Of course not, it's a disease and needs to be treated. Would you want an intersex child to suffer for the rest of their life because of this disorder?

This is one of those issues that I don't think should be tried in the court of public opinion. The initial policies about performing these surgeries were largely informed by intersexed individuals to whom these surgeries were not available at the time that they were born. The policy has been evolving in response to feedback from those who have been operated on. I don't think that it is an issue where there are any bad actors with bad motives.
We do not inherit the world from our parents. We borrow it from our children.
