By normal functioning I meant the ability to expel urine and menstrual fluids (should the female components become active). If those functions are possible then any surgeries can be postponed to a future time. Thus, I think that you really agree with me.
Yes, we probably do. Sorry I misunderstood you. Generally, if the parts do not function well enough to facilitate the normal metabolism there is some pain involved.

speed, couldn't agree with you more. This kind of surgery has to stop! I really thought it had, but no, unfortunately for this child it hadn't. Shame. I think some surgeons are so arrogant that they play God. It might not have been easy for this child initially, but any decision about genital surgery is this child's decision alone. Poor kid, sure reminds me of the Reimer case.

I totally agree with what you say. And today was a pleasant surprise for me a VERY GOOD news from Germany:

The world is evolving, albeit sometimes more slowly than we would like.
