Ban Intersex Surgery for Children: Yes or No?

[Aoi Magi]

This isn't a subject I can weigh in on, and maybe this is way off-topic but this reminds me of an episode of The Orville which centred around a healthy female baby being forcefully turned into a male because their society had only male members and females were shunned. In that case the parent's made the decision due to social pressure, and in our society of the past too things weren't very different. I can understand a parent making such a decision in the hopes of sparing their child a life of being a social outcast, and I can also understand how deeply painful such a life-altering decision can be for the person who had to grow up with a body and gender identity that they do not agree with.

Honestly, I don't think there's a general solution to this, rather it has to be taken on a case by case basis.
