At an academic meeting today where an MD implied that babies born w/ambiguous genitalia should undergo surgery & be assigned a sex. You better believe my hand shot up like a light. As the only mental health prof in the room, I shared the serious problems w/such approaches.

It doesn't matter because parents will still request it and doctors will be obligated to refer it.https://twitter.com/guek_jc/status/1135945821835255808?s=19 …

I think we’re discussing different categories. Coercive reassignment of intersex =/= male circumcision. That’s a separate issue that I literally do not feel any strong opinions about and am not interested in discussing

Coercive genital cutting is wrong regardless of sex. How can you not have a strong opinion about cutting of boys? Where do you draw the line?
