      Sorry but -- surgery does not assign gender. Gender identity comes from the individual. And while doctors have no influence on gender. gender affirming care is known to be vital to mental health as learned from the transgender community.

      So yes, I respect parents who are advocating to preserve choices and options for their children who are intersex just as I respect parents who are advocating to preserve choices and options for their children who are transgender.

      They aren't advocating to preserve choices for their child, they are preserving their own right to make choices FOR their child. Hence the Parent's Rights garbage spewing from CARES. Rosie has her options preserved since she can still choose no surgery. Can they all say that?

      As a parent, you also made a choice for your child -- choosing surgery and choosing no surgery are both choices. I am sure you did it with thought, care, consideration, research and a great deal of love. Other parents are asking for the opportunity to do the same.

      I didn't make a choice, there was no choice to make. Rosie had no medically necessary reason to have a surgery, so we simply didn't have one. That's not a "choice". My non-CAH son Silas also didn't have genital surgery, but I wouldn't call that a choice.

      Sure it’s a choice! Let’s say you were choosing no circumcision for example. That means you’re choosing higher risk of UTI, higher HIV and HPV transmission, higher penile Ca risk. A very reasonable compromise for some families. But still a choice you make on behalf of your child.

      A very slightly higher risk of UTIs, which are easily treated with antibiotics. Girls get almost 10 times the rate of UTIs and you'd prescribe antibiotics, not amputation. Do you tell parents that the form and function of their healthy boy's penis will be irreversibly changed?

      Sorry -- when a baby is having recurrent breakthrough febrile UTIs despite daily antibiotics, yes, I 100% recommend a circumcision instead of something more drastic like a vesicostomy (where we open the bladder up to the belly wall) or letting the infections destroy his kidneys.

      Most humans would prefer a circumcision to dialysis.

      You can rage about circumcision all you want. But there are babies where benefits >>>>>> risks. The black & white perspective you are sharing is exactly why difficult medical choices should be made by parents on behalf of their children, not politicians or activists.

      You've disingenuously confused #circumcision as treatment for a presently existing clinical condition that is not responding to more conservative treatment with the 99%+ of all child circumcisions, which happen w/out any medical indication & are thus elective & unethical. #i2

          You're also wrong to suggest "parents" & "activists" are mutually exclusive categories. I'm both, & far from alone. Could your failure to see that be due to your own "black & white perspective"? Elective surgery can be validly chosen by only 1 person: the patient himself. #i2
