      This is not what many ignorant, unintelligent people will claim it is.

      Sometimes intersex variations are identified when children are born and their genitals look different from what you might expect. These variations might mean that a baby's sex isn't obvious. In this situation, your doctor will carefully examine your baby and might ask to do some tests to work out your baby's sex.

        Your comment comes off as a bit too gender normative IMO, but I do think you are correct in that it might be a bit blown out of proportion. The law does protect doctors who deem it necessary to do surgery to correct birth defects (especially those that involve or are around genitelia) and I think that's quite reasonable. It would be even better if the law set specific protections for intersex infants, though. There's a significant difference between someone born with a defect that can cause serious complications in the future (I heard recently that AFAB urethras are surprisingly often plumbed weirdly) and someone who's born intersex.
