@hitler's tittymilk I don't understand why you'd random person on the webs a bitch. I don't even see how the comment is sexist, This video isn't about circumcision... Nothing in the comment is saying circumcision isn't important either.
@@justanotherweirdo11 Naturally the comparison to male circumcision comes up when the video states that cosmetic genital surgeries on children too young to consent is a human rights violation. It does seem sexist to attempt to shut down anyone bringing up the idea that, like the intersex children the video is talking about, male babies also routinely have their basic human rights violated.
@@jenniferp1917 It's not sexist because it was not about circumcision or children in general going through cosmetic surgeries that they cannot consent to. This video is about Intersex people. I agree circumcision is a human rights violation but the way I see this is like going to a fundraiser for prostate cancer and getting mad that they are fundraising for breast cancer as well. Both cancer, both important but wrong moment to complain in my opinion.
1:37 Listen up parents. Don't mutilate your baby boy just to look more "like his dad" or do it for any other stupid reason. You are taking away something that he maybe would have loved. He can make that decision when he's older!!
I agree Unless it's medically necessary there's no need to get the surgery And this by the way is uniquely an American phenomenon European countries rarely perform the surgeries
As a medical student years ago - we knew there were up to 6 different DNA types of human sexual variations - and 2 genders. This has always been in medicine. It is sad when some physicians are not educated enough to realize that nothing should be done until after the child goes through puberty - and let the child determine their sexual destiny and indentity without any surgery. Surgery should be determined by the young adult, while this child is being medically followed until 18. This also lets the child feel they have total control over their destiny - and provides mental stability and happiness. Please keep talking and reaching other people with this human story - this is the greatest contribution you can give the world - your wisdom about your life !!
It's time the intersex community come together and submit a letter to Congress to make it a law to ban any Doctors from performing any surgery on intersex kids under 16 years of age
@@joycej9415 I think that there are probably a lot of intersex kids that identify as trans, but the majority of trans kids to my knowledge are not intersex. I’m not sure that there any good statistics on that though.
There have always been intersex people. Even though surgeries exist, it seems unethical to surgically alter babies to confirm to norms. These babies have their rights to bodily autonomy taken away from them. Perhaps the real issue is accepting intersex as a normal occurrence instead of attempting to cancel it out.
1:05 _”I met my first intersex patient during residency. She was a 17 year old girl who I operated on to remove her gonads. And it was AFTER the surgery that I fully realized that she had no idea what that surgery entailed.”_ What the HELL?! The person was almost EIGHTEEN years old, and you didn’t inform the patient what was about to have? And you’re still a doctor anyway?!
@@christineverreault9325 You are misinformed. A child has a greater chance of dying from complications of an infant circumcision (one in ten thousand) than of EVER "needing" a circumcision in his lifetime if it isn't done at birth (in the Nordic countries, for instance, where infant circumcision is virtually unheard of, only one in sixteen thousand males ever get circumcised in their entire life. The "needing to later" is basically just American malpractice.) A male circumcised as an infant also has a great chance of having complications from the first (unnecessary) surgery leading to MORE surgeries, all of which could have been avoided by leaving him alone in the first place.
@@frankielovemrears The video is about the how cosmetic genital surgeries on children is a human rights violation, so naturally it brings up comparisons to the much more commonly done human rights violation that is called circumcision. Get over yourself.
@@christineverreault9325 what are you talking about, it's not the 1920 anymore, penis infection answer isn't circumcision. Secondly you're a women not a man you've absolutely no experience with living with a penis never mind a foreskin. We have antibiotics, most of us have access to universal health care, most of us who are sexuality active get regular tested in gum clinic. It shouldn't be forced on anyone especially by someone who doesn't have a penis. Just so we are clear I feel the Way in regards to abortion, men have no personal say in it. Not theyre body not they choice
@@cooliipie A: you already did feel the pain, and no one even gave you any anesthesia or pain relief and B: exactly the point: why force terrible pain on an infant for no medical reason - it is a human rights violation. If you "don't want to feel the pain," simply never have it done. Simple!
@@frankielovemrears it's about how it's a human rights violation to do cosmetic genital surgeries on children too young to consent, OF COURSE circumcision will be brought up as it is basically the same thing. You can't talk about the need to protect one class of children (intersex) from cosmetic genital surgery and ignore the other children who are subjected to it. ALL children, male, female, or intersex, deserve to be protected from cosmetic genital cutting. Most people already agree that females deserve protection; gradually, and thanks to videos like this, people are grasping that it doesn't matter what the infant's sex is, or if you can even determine what sex they are - they should all be protected from having their genitals cut.
Female intersex and male cosmetic surgery’s no body should have that kind of power over you it’s violating never understood how one can not understand the pain that’s why I am creating a movie called the unbiased truth of Circumcision
I agree! Leave the kids alone already! Ya' I know that would put a huge dent in surgeons revenue, but just suck it up! Stop hurting intersex kids for aesthetics and for dollar$.
Yea I wish they'd stop these types of surgeries as well. Parent choose the sex and the doc performs them. How about letting the kids grow up and let THEM decide on the sex instead of screwing them up for life...
My humble liberal opinion on this is.... let them decide what they want when they turn of age. period... nothing should be done, contrary to popular belief... the fact that doctors say "Surgery does not happen on children" yes... but it is not entirely true. Sometimes you get parents who are extremely confused and will demand that the doctor performs surgery on their newborn for fear of judgement from their religious communities, or idiot doctors who see a uterus and a penis on a child will do it themselves without informing parents. THIS practice should require jail-time.
@@jeremywright9511 Usually, a female baby has 2 X chromosomes (XX) and a male has 1 X and 1 Y (XY). But in Klinefelter syndrome, a boy is born with an extra copy of the X chromosome (XXY). The X chromosome is not a "female" chromosome and is present in everyone. The presence of a Y chromosome denotes male sex.
@@shonletsrollout37 except intersex has nothing to do with lgbt, it’s an actual medical condition that has been recognized since 1915 : so if you’re born with XXY chromosomes, what do you call yourself?
Many of us born this way in the 60s had been put into institutions and made to be what adults wanted. No one thought about the fact that later in a persons life, there could be some serious problems. If any of you have a child with intersex issues, please let them grow up and let them make their own decision. Some of us like myself are paying a price. As we get older our body's can have some real problems and health issues that can not be reversed.
There is 130,000,000 intersex people in the world and if you include transgender people who typically have similar resonations just not the genital ambiguity (maybe secondary sex characteristics) that would double.That is only 3 percent of the world but it's a huge number of people.
Intersex people amount to 1-3% of humans, and thats just the confirmed amount. People only think of obvious genital abnormalities, but there's hormones, chromosomes, DNA/RNA etc and more. Sex is actually a spectrum, and one that is badly misrepresented.
But it’s NOT a human rights violation to give kids life-changing puberty blockers and surgeries because they’re suffering from a mental health condition? The irony.
The difference is these surgeries on intersex kids actually happen, not just in the imaginations of conservatives, and the effects of puberty blockers are reversible. Denying trans teenagers puberty blockers is as harmful as giving unwilling cis people HRT.
Man, you conservative people are just shits 💩💩💩 because you know what conservative people made me eat hormones without my known consent like hell because I was intersex . While you people argue that someone should not be given hormones because they consent.
in Islam, we're suggested to wait at least until they shows sign of what they lean more to biologically, socially and physically, in Islam we believe in only two genders, male and female, so we had to watch intersex kid carefully as they grow so we can decide and know what their gender is, when they're a baby, we look at how they pee, if they pee from female urethra, their a female, if they pee from the penis, their a male, but usually we still wait until they've had their puberty, they just look at how they pee so they can put the baby gender in the birth certificate. after they hit puberty, we look whether they had periods or they produce sperms, if they had periods and pee from female urethra, they're female, if they pee from penis and produce sperms, they're a male. after looking at them biologically, now we have to look at how they socialise which usually around toodlers age, If they were into men and like men, they're a female, if they're into girls and like girls, they're a male. physically, if they had periods, pee from female urethra and have more feminine looks like female face, grow breast and wider hips, they're a girl, if they produce sperms, pee from penis and have masculine looks like Adam apple, beard and mustache, they're a male. usually these surgery were done when they already hit puberty, such as had periods or produce sperms, which usually around 9 years old to 18 years old, but most had the surgery at 14 until 16 years old.
What about endocrinal treatments given to people with gender dysphoria how lethal is it to give kids puberty blockers at a small age , when they are surely able to give consent,but not fully capable making right decisions and these endocrine specialist act like every thing is fine and follow the orders of those stubborn kids instead of thinking from humanitarian stand point.
Whilst I agree with this kids should not transition medically, it's funny how when surgeries were performed on BABIES it was pindrop silence. No one gave a shit despite countless intersex men and women coming forward and pleading for it to stop. But when kids/teens were fast tracked onto transition (which is hit or miss) + they still had to wait til 18 to have ANYTHING done to their genitals it's at the forefront of controversy.
@@sharkisland5931 not even mentioning the countless therapists, doctors and systems you have to go through to even get on a list that could end up with you waiting for years to have surgeries that have a possibility of going wrong. giving children (of age, as in hit puberty already) puberty blockers as a response to dysphoria reaching into depression and SH is the best someone can do. It’s reversible and if they’re “too young” its either for early puberty, heavy periods in young children (sadly me), or other medical circumstances. I had to take BC when I was about 11 because of menstrual pain. I had to skip school, I couldn’t walk around during that week and it was miserable. 🥲
Puberty blockers aren't lethal. In fact, they are regularly given to intersex children without their informed consent. Specifically with intersex children who have XXY chromosomes, they often are given puberty blockers so that they can be put on testosterone supplements.
No one is putting pre-pubescent kids on HRT. That is hogwash made up by conservatives to further their own agenda. Puberty blockers are entirely reversible and have existed for nearly one hundred years. They were created because some kids started way too early (seven year old girl shouldn't be getting a period).
Children can't make a parent agree to have surgeries to change there sex., and vice versa . Over 40 years ago a co worker of mine had a child born with organs outside of the body .No sexual organs had formed, they made him a boy .I understand that hard decision . I do not agree with these puberty blockers or changing the sex of a child .AT18 years old do what they want ,but read about depression and suicide first . Leave the children out of this ........
Children can have gender dysphoria. It’s actually more common for pre pubescent kids to have it ( mainly boys ) . Its 100% wrong to allow people under 18 to have surgery. However it is okay for kids with diagnosed gender dysphoria to access hormones , therapy and puberty blockers. It’s not easy to get treatment. During the mandatory therapy sessions before a diagnosis of gender dysphoria is made , 80% + of kids will realise they’re not transgender. The other kids will have more therapy , doctors visits and they must have socially transitioned for a while ( changed name , clothes and pronouns ) the younger the child , the more intense the process will be. If a professional thinks the child is too young for puberty blockers and hormones ( usuallly 11 and under ) they won’t get any. If a professional thinks that the timing isn’t right , the child can’t understand or that the child might not be transgender, treatment will not proceed. It’s not hard to understand
Fun fact! Puberty blockers have been used on cis children since the 1990s who are experiencing an early puberty. Stop with your transphobic nonsense. :))
@@Erik-fn7kjFor actual medical necessities, not for prolonged periods because you like the color pink... And that's not even a long time fir medical studies anyway.
I don't know about this.... Thinking of a teenager or young adult who is ready to start exploring with others sexually and then they have to deal with having genitals that look different than most others could be very difficult for them. Personally I'd rather it happen while I'm a small baby so I would have a better chance of not having to go through that embarrassment as a young adult. I get that not everyone will feel this way and I was not born intersex so not saying that I know exactly what they would feel like, I was born and still am a male but I do have a small story that I feel like could relate to what I'm trying to say. I was circumsized as a baby and the foreskin was only cut off about 95% of the way and the doctors told my parents that it would just fall away as it healed. Didn't happen. I'm almost 40 years old and to this day I have a couple small pieces of skin that wouldn't be there if that circumcision was done properly. As a teenager and a young adult when I was dating I found this to be extremely concerning because I had to explain it any time I was with a girl. Talk about some freaking awkward conversations sometimes, let me tell ya. Luckily it's not too noticeable and doesn't interfere with anything at all but it's there and I could have avoided all the worry and embarrassment about it had the docs done the right thing when I was a baby. So I am, in a small way relating my experience to someone who was born intersex and maybe the doctors are trying to help the kid avoid something like this later in life, something like what I went though. Again, I get that not everyone will see it this way but I encourage you to at least put yourself in the shoes of someone who would have to go through that as they grew up and became sexually active and just think about how that could affect their life if they were say a woman and had to explain to any man they were about to be with that they had a micro penis or something else that wasn't the norm or possibly what the other person was expecting. Also not saying that anything would be wrong with that and I hope anyone who does have to do that gets the respect they deserve, but I can, at least from my experience, say it can be very difficult. So I don't necessarily think that doctors should not be doing this, but it should ALWAYS be a decision involving the parents of the child. Never without concent. I do definitely agree with that part. I just can't say I think it's totally unnecessary surgery. If it's done with care, concent by parents and done carefully with minimal risk then I think it can be the right thing to do and a lot of people are probably thankful it was done if it happened to them. Thats my thoughts on it anyway. Take it for what you will.
You are missing a big, big, verry big point here. Genitals don't make your gender. Biological sex and gender are 2 different things. So I would rather live with the shame you are talking about as a teen, and choose if i want to have the surgery done to me when I get older.You are not helping your baby in any way if you perform this surgery. You can't choose your baby's sex or gender.
@@nicoledobra sorry, I don't agree. I think 2 responsible adults can make a decision for what's best for their baby based on the circumstances surrounding how thr baby was born. I think a lot of people think this is just parents picking one way or another for their child but I would certainly hope that it's done based on the facts at hand, does the child have other male or female traits, what will be the best choice. I agree, you can not choose gender or sex. Those decisions are made in the development of the fetus but if the development doesn't turn out as expected and it's all the way male or female as in these intersex births then I don't see any problem at all for the parents making the best choice to what's available for them at the time. Parents make choices for their offspring all through childhood. Are they always the right ones? No. But they do what they believe is best for their children and I think that's their right to do. If they choose not to perform the surgery and let the kid be as they were born then that's their right to do as well. I didn't miss any points, I just don't agree with you on this part. And that's okay, we don't have to agree. I'll respect your view on the subject however you feel but my life experiences, knowledge and beliefs have shaped my view on it and that's where I stand.
Yes, as you said, if the doctors had "done the right thing" and never done the non-medically necessary genital-altering surgery on you in the first place, you never would have had to deal with the results of their messed-up job.
@@bobbycone2 .... The surgery is a human rights violation that can cause sterilization And has the ability to affect the child greatly throughout their lives And the parents are 1000% responsible for it going wrong
Yes again another reason why I am against circumstance. Dont you see it yet? You tell us you have had problems with what the doctors did to you because it was not performed all the way good... Why not telling them to not operate you at all. You where fine without the circumstance right? ;) But I do get your point about the proces someone has to go trough with an interseks body. Still I think operations can do so much harm. I dont find it worth the risk. By the way when everybody accept the interseks body it will become normal over time and people will be less ashamed of it if that was a thing for them..
@@R0mbVs The fact remains that risk for UTIs, Prostate cancer, and STDs are lower in circumcised men. It’s ok if you still think that the risk of surgical complications outweigh the benefits, but don’t pretend the benefits don’t exist.
So let me get this straight, her life is normal and great as a result of the benefits of having the surgery. But she's totally oposed to the surgery on other baby's?
Harlan T Yep. She’s a complete hypocrite. This is why Science and Politics should never touch, because when they do, “scientists” say misinformation for political fuel and cause harm to unknowing people that listen to them.
I don't think she did have any surgeries, at least nothing mentioned in the video. She said she was born with androgen insensitivity. That means she's XY like a male, but because as a developing fetus her body did not respond to testosterone in the usual way to take the appearance of a male, she was considered female, but likely does not have functioning ovaries. Nothing in the video gave any suggestion that she had had any surgeries, or that she would have chosen any. That said, even if someone does wish to have certain surgeries done when they are an adult, does not make it ethical to do to an infant. It can wait. There is no medical reason to do them on an infant.Doing cosmetic surgery on an infant takes away the choice and the bodily autonomy of the adult that baby will become. That's why it's considered a human rights violation.
If you didn’t get to choose to have a surgery, but you WOULD have gotten that surgery if given the chance, that wasn’t a good thing that happened to you. You would just be “one of the lucky ones” who could deal with having the surgery; that leaves all the “unlucky” ones up a creek without a paddle
So unlike parents / teachers encouraging children under 5 to consider gender reassignment, ie before they are old enough to consent. Which is it ? Concerned about the future welfare and mental health of intersex kids, but not so much other kids upon whom they want to impose their own gender wishes,
Um... which school is doing such a thing? gender affirmation surgery is only accessible to trans people through a rigorous process of therapy and care and only when they are 17 years old. what you just stated is complete nonsense.
There's laws in several places that have (or are being considered) that makes it mandatory for people to get their parents permission just to socially transition (haircut, name, pronouns). Even though some parent's aren't supportive or one is and the other isn't. Some parents are supportive. Specifically in the UK where I'm from they're trying to stop social transition for minors in schools and viewing it as a medical thing. For the UK, it says you have to live as your gender (social transition) for two years until you get a GRC at some point but by banning it for younger people it'll make a paradox especially if they're leaving school at 18 when you can get a GRC. Some parents force their trans child(ren) to go through conversion "therapy" which is basically torture with electric shocks and more to unsuccessfully "stop" them from being trans. Some parents cut or force them to grow out their hair and force them to stick to their assigned gender clothes and if they don't, they get hurt. That is pushing gender and gender roles, not trans people. I saw a comment once where someone was assuming that we see a boy playing with a doll and immediately assume they're a trans girl or something (we don't) and asking "So you want the surgery?" Or something like that. Their words make no sense. Transfems get bullied when they play dolls or wear skirts "because they're too girly for a 'boy'" and when they come out they're told, "No you can't be a girl even though I'm not involved in your gender!" I've seen a TERF (trans exclusionary radical "feminist" - but they're not feminists) force her trans child (minor) off the internet and forcing them to wea transphobic merchandise - yet we're the ones forcing transness on people apparently? We aren't. I've seen pictures of them and they look so sad. Cis people push the roles onto us. Even for cis people. We're expected to live up to act or wear whatever the birth certificate says. They get mad if we're not exactly like their predictions or themselves. But there are some parents that raise their kids without the restrictions. I'll raise mine with the knowledge that toys are toys, clothes are clothes and you can wear whatever you want as long as it's appropriate to your age, you actually want to wear it and you're comfortable. Many trans people repress it (myself included) due to reactions from family/friends/school etc. Anyway, minors have puberty blockers if they're trans (also cis people too) which are fully reversible. These aren't HRT which is given to minors 16+ (typically). Some places ban them until you're 18 but by then puberty is done (I think Texas was one of these places). No kid gets gender reassignment at that young age except for intersex people. Many people assume transition means you come out and instantly go to a doctor, get hormones or blockers and get surgery the same day. Which isn't possible and very unrealistic as we have to spend years in therapy and have several letters and referalls before that. Some people detransition as well and some of them want to ban it all, even for adults. Even though detransitioners use surgeries such as a mastectomy (like if they're detrans man who grew a chest on estrogen and then realized that they weren't trans so they get it removed) and others. So if they ban it they won't be able to detransition. Some of them lie that they got fast tracked. Even though the wait lists can be quite long. One adult trans woman ended her life in the UK because she'd been on the waiting list for around 1000 days (or weeks - can't exactly remember). That's a long time. Like, nobody is rushing into this. Surgery costs lots of money too. I think on the NHS it's free though. Not sure how accurate that is. Also in the UK and certain places intersex isn't a legal option on ID or certificates. Same with non binary (which isn't intersex). And as a non binary intersex person, I'll be legally my AGAB unless they get it updated. I also had surgeries done on me as a baby and I don't know if these were reassignment surgeries to make me look more like a girl as I have scars from "hernia removal surgeries". I didn't give consent to these. I don't know if I went through puberty naturally either. It was a mini puberty (some development but it only grew a bit) and happened in stages. I didn't get armpit hair until I was 16 and I have hormone issues. I'm now entering another mini puberty as I'm starting to develop again (which I don't want). If it turns out I was forcibly given surgeries like these I'll be furious. But anyway, people say they care about mutilation but aren't banning intersex genital mutilation (and the rest of the surgeries they go through) and yet ban surgeries for under 18s for trans people. If I remember correctly the only times mastectomy is done -18 is because the child has attempted to take their own life especially if they weren't allowed puberty blockers. Vaginoplasties aren't done on any trans person until they're at least 16+. Also anti-trans bills make exceptions for intersex surgeries even though they're just babies or children or young teens. Trans people give consent but that's considered mutilation by some people but actual non consenual surgery isn't to certain people? The last time the UK had a petition on non binary being a legal option, they ranted about trans women in sports or something and didn't pay attention to the fact it was about non binary people. Trans people just want to have healthcare. Florida has banned it for adults. Many more places are doing the same. And yet the people making the laws aren't trans: they're cis people. Honestly we should be in charge of our own healthcare. I had an idea about a Trans Healthcare Committee or Panel or something made up of trans people, doctors, some cis allies and maybe a supportive detrans person to discuss it and not people who don't know how being trans works. I'd have more to say but this is basically it because my hand hurts from typing this. Hope this helps. I know a lot as I've done my own research on this.
Pediatric GAC is an even greater atrocity than intersex reassignment, and all of this stuff about "nobody's transitioning kids," "blockers are reversible," "detrans lie about getting fast-tracked" is all a bunch of lies. France, the UK, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland have all recently reviewed the evidence and concluded *there is none.*
If my child was intersex and my child look like more of a female but has male and female organs I would definitely get the intersect surgery hands down for my child cuz my child would be underneath my and my husband care until she's the age of 18 but as a baby or a child he or she will have the surgery no matter what it's not a child's decision it's the parents decision hands down.
If you don't mind me asking, why? Usually, the surgeries are just cosmetic, so they really don't have a medical benefit. Why not let them have the surgery at 18, when they know a bit more about themselves and what they feel like? the surgery can be scarring and is, in most cases, permanent. This is not something that can be simply wished away if you find out later in life that you "chose wrong" (I.e. the child grows up looking/feeling more like a boy than a girl)
Danielle You don’t choose, the child’s gene choose. In the case of intersex, a DNA test is conducted to determine the child’s proper sex and the useless organ is removed. If the child grows up to be transgender, then he or she will undergo normal transitioning to the opposite gender. If a sex change is the adult’s desire, a normal sex change operation is done. Reason for the corrective surgery is usually tied to medical risks, so when corrected, the child grows up to be healthy. If it is purely cosmetic, it is done so that the child is normal and like other children. Children will point out and make fun of another child that is different. More importantly is that it not cause problems for sexual partners later in life. Why you would want your child to suffer from a fixable defect is beyond me. It makes about as much sense as refusing to vaccinate your child, but people will still do it.
According to published medical ethics, parents only have the right to give proxy consent for surgery if the surgery is medically necessary AND cannot safely be put off until the child is of age to consent. "Normalizing" surgeries for intersex children meet neither criteria, therefore they must be put off until the child becomes adult and decides what they want. Remember, you aren't just altering the child, you are making a permanent, major, life-long body modification to the ADULT that child will be in just 18 short years. Many intersex persons are very happy with their bodies just the way they were born and say they would have been devastated if their parents had had them altered. Others, who were altered, grow up to feel terrible that their options were denied, because they feel they would have chosen a different surgery or none at all. Intersex is very complex and you can't make a decision solely based on the DNA at birth, because puberty can change everything you thought you knew. The only ethical thing is to not do cosmetic genital surgeries on children too young to give informed consent.
Certainly! Intersex variations can indeed lead to a wide range of differences in sexual development. Here are some key points: Genital Variations: Intersex people do not necessarily have “both” male and female genitals. Instead, their anatomy can vary significantly. Some intersex individuals may be born with mostly aligning anatomy but missing certain parts (e.g., a uterus or testes). Others might have aligning internal anatomy but differences in secondary traits (like breast development or facial hair). For instance, a person could have a large clitoris or micropenis because the same tissue in humans can develop into either a clitoris or penis. The development of labia vs. scrotum and vaginal length also exists on a spectrum1. Sperm Production and Menstruation: Intersex people can have diverse reproductive capabilities. Some may have both testes and ovaries. If they also have a uterus, they might be able to get pregnant. However, if testes are present, they may release more testosterone than optimal for conception and pregnancy. If an intersex person is born with a functioning uterus, ovaries, and a vagina, they will likely start menstruating at puberty23. Remember that everyone’s experience is unique, and intersex variations are complex. It’s essential to recognize and celebrate this diversity rather than relying on oversimplified ideas about sex and gender.
Well, to understand this world of the Supreme Lord is beyond Imagination, and it's never been easy for Naive people to understand the amazing Human Anatomy and their highly complex Gender identity. In actuality, every living being is simply a different representation of the same Supreme Master of this Universe. At an end we all have the similar process of evolution to death, sooner or later we all will disperse back to the same five elements for the next birth further depending on each individual Karma, an ultimate truth. Be well Educated & Mentally sound in all manner.

Listen up parents. Don't mutilate your baby boy just to look more "like his dad" or do it for any other stupid reason. You are taking away something that he maybe would have loved. He can make that decision when he's older!!
Fuck his choices do it.

Unless it's medically necessary there's no need to get the surgery
And this by the way is uniquely an American phenomenon European countries rarely perform the surgeries

As a medical student years ago - we knew there were up to 6 different DNA types of human sexual variations - and 2 genders. This has always been in medicine. It is sad when some physicians are not educated enough to realize that nothing should be done until after the child goes through puberty - and let the child determine their sexual destiny and indentity without any surgery. Surgery should be determined by the young adult, while this child is being medically followed until 18. This also lets the child feel they have total control over their destiny - and provides mental stability and happiness. Please keep talking and reaching other people with this human story - this is the greatest contribution you can give the world - your wisdom about your life !!
It's time the intersex community come together and submit a letter to Congress to make it a law to ban any Doctors from performing any surgery on intersex kids under 16 years of age
But trans kids are fair game?
@@americangirl6654but aren't trans kids often intersex?
@@joycej9415 I think that there are probably a lot of intersex kids that identify as trans, but the majority of trans kids to my knowledge are not intersex. I’m not sure that there any good statistics on that though.
@americangirl6654 thanks, I am just to trying to learn. I appreciate your answer.
What a complex subject, my heart goes out to these people
There have always been intersex people. Even though surgeries exist, it seems unethical to surgically alter babies to confirm to norms. These babies have their rights to bodily autonomy taken away from them.
Perhaps the real issue is accepting intersex as a normal occurrence instead of attempting to cancel it out.
1:05 _”I met my first intersex patient during residency. She was a 17 year old girl who I operated on to remove her gonads. And it was AFTER the surgery that I fully realized that she had no idea what that surgery entailed.”_
What the HELL?! The person was almost EIGHTEEN years old, and you didn’t inform the patient what was about to have? And you’re still a doctor anyway?!
Should be the same for circumcision in males..

@@christineverreault9325 You are misinformed. A child has a greater chance of dying from complications of an infant circumcision (one in ten thousand) than of EVER "needing" a circumcision in his lifetime if it isn't done at birth (in the Nordic countries, for instance, where infant circumcision is virtually unheard of, only one in sixteen thousand males ever get circumcised in their entire life. The "needing to later" is basically just American malpractice.) A male circumcised as an infant also has a great chance of having complications from the first (unnecessary) surgery leading to MORE surgeries, all of which could have been avoided by leaving him alone in the first place.

@@frankielovemrears it's about how it's a human rights violation to do cosmetic genital surgeries on children too young to consent, OF COURSE circumcision will be brought up as it is basically the same thing. You can't talk about the need to protect one class of children (intersex) from cosmetic genital surgery and ignore the other children who are subjected to it. ALL children, male, female, or intersex, deserve to be protected from cosmetic genital cutting. Most people already agree that females deserve protection; gradually, and thanks to videos like this, people are grasping that it doesn't matter what the infant's sex is, or if you can even determine what sex they are - they should all be protected from having their genitals cut.

I agree. Additionally, male circumcision needs to end too
I agree! Leave the kids alone already! Ya' I know that would put a huge dent in surgeons revenue, but just suck it up! Stop hurting intersex kids for aesthetics and for dollar$.
Yea I wish they'd stop these types of surgeries as well. Parent choose the sex and the doc performs them. How about letting the kids grow up and let THEM decide on the sex instead of screwing them up for life...
My humble liberal opinion on this is.... let them decide what they want when they turn of age. period... nothing should be done, contrary to popular belief... the fact that doctors say "Surgery does not happen on children" yes... but it is not entirely true. Sometimes you get parents who are extremely confused and will demand that the doctor performs surgery on their newborn for fear of judgement from their religious communities, or idiot doctors who see a uterus and a penis on a child will do it themselves without informing parents. THIS practice should require jail-time.
Let the child choose
😂 you can't choose your gender....it depends on your chromosom
@@shonletsrollout37 Sex is biological, gender is social identity with respect to your sex. If you have an XXY chromosome....what then?

If any of you have a child with intersex issues, please let them grow up and let them make their own decision. Some of us like myself are paying a price. As we get older our body's can have some real problems and health issues that can not be reversed.
I was circumcised at the age of 5 by my 2nd adoptive parents..
Genital mutilation needs to stop.
What is the cause of this happening at birth if intersex is still uncommon and rare?
Because they are still doing surgeries on those rare, uncommon children who are born intersex
@Zeenat Ahmed 1 in 2000
Yeah and it's not that big of a problem people just keep bitching.
There is 130,000,000 intersex people in the world and if you include transgender people who typically have similar resonations just not the genital ambiguity (maybe secondary sex characteristics) that would double.That is only 3 percent of the world but it's a huge number of people.
Intersex people amount to 1-3% of humans, and thats just the confirmed amount. People only think of obvious genital abnormalities, but there's hormones, chromosomes, DNA/RNA etc and more. Sex is actually a spectrum, and one that is badly misrepresented.
But it’s NOT a human rights violation to give kids life-changing puberty blockers and surgeries because they’re suffering from a mental health condition? The irony.
The difference is these surgeries on intersex kids actually happen, not just in the imaginations of conservatives, and the effects of puberty blockers are reversible. Denying trans teenagers puberty blockers is as harmful as giving unwilling cis people HRT.
Bro is not beating the derangement allegations
Hit the nail on the head. Can’t have it both ways folks.
Man, you conservative people are just shits 💩💩💩 because you know what conservative people made me eat hormones without my known consent like hell because I was intersex . While you people argue that someone should not be given hormones because they consent.
Crimes against humanity!
in Islam, we're suggested to wait at least until they shows sign of what they lean more to biologically, socially and physically, in Islam we believe in only two genders, male and female, so we had to watch intersex kid carefully as they grow so we can decide and know what their gender is, when they're a baby, we look at how they pee, if they pee from female urethra, their a female, if they pee from the penis, their a male, but usually we still wait until they've had their puberty, they just look at how they pee so they can put the baby gender in the birth certificate.
after they hit puberty, we look whether they had periods or they produce sperms, if they had periods and pee from female urethra, they're female, if they pee from penis and produce sperms, they're a male.
after looking at them biologically, now we have to look at how they socialise which usually around toodlers age, If they were into men and like men, they're a female, if they're into girls and like girls, they're a male.
physically, if they had periods, pee from female urethra and have more feminine looks like female face, grow breast and wider hips, they're a girl, if they produce sperms, pee from penis and have masculine looks like Adam apple, beard and mustache, they're a male.
usually these surgery were done when they already hit puberty, such as had periods or produce sperms, which usually around 9 years old to 18 years old, but most had the surgery at 14 until 16 years old.
Don't forget the chromosomes.
I completely understand all this I was born intersex myself they never told my mom because she was in a coma for 3 weeks
Awww I am sorry. What intersex variant you have

Also talk about circumcision
What about endocrinal treatments given to people with gender dysphoria how lethal is it to give kids puberty blockers at a small age , when they are surely able to give consent,but not fully capable making right decisions and these endocrine specialist act like every thing is fine and follow the orders of those stubborn kids instead of thinking from humanitarian stand point.
her·maph·ro·dite
Whilst I agree with this kids should not transition medically, it's funny how when surgeries were performed on BABIES it was pindrop silence. No one gave a shit despite countless intersex men and women coming forward and pleading for it to stop. But when kids/teens were fast tracked onto transition (which is hit or miss) + they still had to wait til 18 to have ANYTHING done to their genitals it's at the forefront of controversy.
@@sharkisland5931 not even mentioning the countless therapists, doctors and systems you have to go through to even get on a list that could end up with you waiting for years to have surgeries that have a possibility of going wrong. giving children (of age, as in hit puberty already) puberty blockers as a response to dysphoria reaching into depression and SH is the best someone can do. It’s reversible and if they’re “too young” its either for early puberty, heavy periods in young children (sadly me), or other medical circumstances. I had to take BC when I was about 11 because of menstrual pain. I had to skip school, I couldn’t walk around during that week and it was miserable. 🥲
Puberty blockers aren't lethal. In fact, they are regularly given to intersex children without their informed consent.
Specifically with intersex children who have XXY chromosomes, they often are given puberty blockers so that they can be put on testosterone supplements.
No one is putting pre-pubescent kids on HRT. That is hogwash made up by conservatives to further their own agenda. Puberty blockers are entirely reversible and have existed for nearly one hundred years. They were created because some kids started way too early (seven year old girl shouldn't be getting a period).
No not children!
Please educated me more about this if anyone can I love to learn about this gender
❤❤ God made all us
Children can't make a parent agree to have surgeries to change there sex., and vice versa . Over 40 years ago a co worker of mine had a child born with organs outside of the body .No sexual organs had formed, they made him a boy .I understand that hard decision . I do not agree with these puberty blockers or changing the sex of a child .AT18 years old do what they want ,but read about depression and suicide first . Leave the children out of this ........
Children can have gender dysphoria. It’s actually more common for pre pubescent kids to have it ( mainly boys ) . Its 100% wrong to allow people under 18 to have surgery. However it is okay for kids with diagnosed gender dysphoria to access hormones , therapy and puberty blockers. It’s not easy to get treatment. During the mandatory therapy sessions before a diagnosis of gender dysphoria is made , 80% + of kids will realise they’re not transgender. The other kids will have more therapy , doctors visits and they must have socially transitioned for a while ( changed name , clothes and pronouns ) the younger the child , the more intense the process will be. If a professional thinks the child is too young for puberty blockers and hormones ( usuallly 11 and under ) they won’t get any. If a professional thinks that the timing isn’t right , the child can’t understand or that the child might not be transgender, treatment will not proceed. It’s not hard to understand
Fun fact! Puberty blockers have been used on cis children since the 1990s who are experiencing an early puberty. Stop with your transphobic nonsense. :))

Now this recently proven scientifically since birth
Trans positive
Intersex isn't transgender.
I don't know about this.... Thinking of a teenager or young adult who is ready to start exploring with others sexually and then they have to deal with having genitals that look different than most others could be very difficult for them. Personally I'd rather it happen while I'm a small baby so I would have a better chance of not having to go through that embarrassment as a young adult. I get that not everyone will feel this way and I was not born intersex so not saying that I know exactly what they would feel like, I was born and still am a male but I do have a small story that I feel like could relate to what I'm trying to say. I was circumsized as a baby and the foreskin was only cut off about 95% of the way and the doctors told my parents that it would just fall away as it healed. Didn't happen. I'm almost 40 years old and to this day I have a couple small pieces of skin that wouldn't be there if that circumcision was done properly. As a teenager and a young adult when I was dating I found this to be extremely concerning because I had to explain it any time I was with a girl. Talk about some freaking awkward conversations sometimes, let me tell ya. Luckily it's not too noticeable and doesn't interfere with anything at all but it's there and I could have avoided all the worry and embarrassment about it had the docs done the right thing when I was a baby. So I am, in a small way relating my experience to someone who was born intersex and maybe the doctors are trying to help the kid avoid something like this later in life, something like what I went though. Again, I get that not everyone will see it this way but I encourage you to at least put yourself in the shoes of someone who would have to go through that as they grew up and became sexually active and just think about how that could affect their life if they were say a woman and had to explain to any man they were about to be with that they had a micro penis or something else that wasn't the norm or possibly what the other person was expecting. Also not saying that anything would be wrong with that and I hope anyone who does have to do that gets the respect they deserve, but I can, at least from my experience, say it can be very difficult. So I don't necessarily think that doctors should not be doing this, but it should ALWAYS be a decision involving the parents of the child. Never without concent. I do definitely agree with that part. I just can't say I think it's totally unnecessary surgery. If it's done with care, concent by parents and done carefully with minimal risk then I think it can be the right thing to do and a lot of people are probably thankful it was done if it happened to them. Thats my thoughts on it anyway. Take it for what you will.
You are missing a big, big, verry big point here. Genitals don't make your gender. Biological sex and gender are 2 different things. So I would rather live with the shame you are talking about as a teen, and choose if i want to have the surgery done to me when I get older.You are not helping your baby in any way if you perform this surgery. You can't choose your baby's sex or gender.
@@nicoledobra sorry, I don't agree. I think 2 responsible adults can make a decision for what's best for their baby based on the circumstances surrounding how thr baby was born. I think a lot of people think this is just parents picking one way or another for their child but I would certainly hope that it's done based on the facts at hand, does the child have other male or female traits, what will be the best choice. I agree, you can not choose gender or sex. Those decisions are made in the development of the fetus but if the development doesn't turn out as expected and it's all the way male or female as in these intersex births then I don't see any problem at all for the parents making the best choice to what's available for them at the time. Parents make choices for their offspring all through childhood. Are they always the right ones? No. But they do what they believe is best for their children and I think that's their right to do. If they choose not to perform the surgery and let the kid be as they were born then that's their right to do as well. I didn't miss any points, I just don't agree with you on this part. And that's okay, we don't have to agree. I'll respect your view on the subject however you feel but my life experiences, knowledge and beliefs have shaped my view on it and that's where I stand.
Yes, as you said, if the doctors had "done the right thing" and never done the non-medically necessary genital-altering surgery on you in the first place, you never would have had to deal with the results of their messed-up job.
@@bobbycone2 .... The surgery is a human rights violation that can cause sterilization
And has the ability to affect the child greatly throughout their lives
And the parents are 1000% responsible for it going wrong
Yes again another reason why I am against circumstance. Dont you see it yet? You tell us you have had problems with what the doctors did to you because it was not performed all the way good...
Why not telling them to not operate you at all. You where fine without the circumstance right? ;)
But I do get your point about the proces someone has to go trough with an interseks body. Still I think operations can do so much harm.
I dont find it worth the risk.
By the way when everybody accept the interseks body it will become normal over time and people will be less ashamed of it if that was a thing for them..

Where are you?
So let me get this straight, her life is normal and great as a result of the benefits of having the surgery. But she's totally oposed to the surgery on other baby's?
Exception not the rule
Harlan T Yep. She’s a complete hypocrite.
This is why Science and Politics should never touch, because when they do, “scientists” say misinformation for political fuel and cause harm to unknowing people that listen to them.
I don't think she did have any surgeries, at least nothing mentioned in the video. She said she was born with androgen insensitivity. That means she's XY like a male, but because as a developing fetus her body did not respond to testosterone in the usual way to take the appearance of a male, she was considered female, but likely does not have functioning ovaries. Nothing in the video gave any suggestion that she had had any surgeries, or that she would have chosen any.
That said, even if someone does wish to have certain surgeries done when they are an adult, does not make it ethical to do to an infant. It can wait. There is no medical reason to do them on an infant.Doing cosmetic surgery on an infant takes away the choice and the bodily autonomy of the adult that baby will become. That's why it's considered a human rights violation.
If you didn’t get to choose to have a surgery, but you WOULD have gotten that surgery if given the chance, that wasn’t a good thing that happened to you. You would just be “one of the lucky ones” who could deal with having the surgery; that leaves all the “unlucky” ones up a creek without a paddle
What benefits of the surgery?
So unlike parents / teachers encouraging children under 5 to consider gender reassignment, ie before they are old enough to consent. Which is it ? Concerned about the future welfare and mental health of intersex kids, but not so much other kids upon whom they want to impose their own gender wishes,
Um... which school is doing such a thing? gender affirmation surgery is only accessible to trans people through a rigorous process of therapy and care and only when they are 17 years old. what you just stated is complete nonsense.
Nobody is doing that
There's laws in several places that have (or are being considered) that makes it mandatory for people to get their parents permission just to socially transition (haircut, name, pronouns). Even though some parent's aren't supportive or one is and the other isn't. Some parents are supportive.
Specifically in the UK where I'm from they're trying to stop social transition for minors in schools and viewing it as a medical thing. For the UK, it says you have to live as your gender (social transition) for two years until you get a GRC at some point but by banning it for younger people it'll make a paradox especially if they're leaving school at 18 when you can get a GRC.
Some parents force their trans child(ren) to go through conversion "therapy" which is basically torture with electric shocks and more to unsuccessfully "stop" them from being trans. Some parents cut or force them to grow out their hair and force them to stick to their assigned gender clothes and if they don't, they get hurt. That is pushing gender and gender roles, not trans people.
I saw a comment once where someone was assuming that we see a boy playing with a doll and immediately assume they're a trans girl or something (we don't) and asking "So you want the surgery?" Or something like that.
Their words make no sense. Transfems get bullied when they play dolls or wear skirts "because they're too girly for a 'boy'" and when they come out they're told, "No you can't be a girl even though I'm not involved in your gender!"
I've seen a TERF (trans exclusionary radical "feminist" - but they're not feminists) force her trans child (minor) off the internet and forcing them to wea transphobic merchandise - yet we're the ones forcing transness on people apparently? We aren't. I've seen pictures of them and they look so sad.
Cis people push the roles onto us. Even for cis people. We're expected to live up to act or wear whatever the birth certificate says. They get mad if we're not exactly like their predictions or themselves.
But there are some parents that raise their kids without the restrictions. I'll raise mine with the knowledge that toys are toys, clothes are clothes and you can wear whatever you want as long as it's appropriate to your age, you actually want to wear it and you're comfortable.
Many trans people repress it (myself included) due to reactions from family/friends/school etc.
Anyway, minors have puberty blockers if they're trans (also cis people too) which are fully reversible. These aren't HRT which is given to minors 16+ (typically).
Some places ban them until you're 18 but by then puberty is done (I think Texas was one of these places).
No kid gets gender reassignment at that young age except for intersex people.
Many people assume transition means you come out and instantly go to a doctor, get hormones or blockers and get surgery the same day.
Which isn't possible and very unrealistic as we have to spend years in therapy and have several letters and referalls before that.
Some people detransition as well and some of them want to ban it all, even for adults.
Even though detransitioners use surgeries such as a mastectomy (like if they're detrans man who grew a chest on estrogen and then realized that they weren't trans so they get it removed) and others. So if they ban it they won't be able to detransition.
Some of them lie that they got fast tracked. Even though the wait lists can be quite long.
One adult trans woman ended her life in the UK because she'd been on the waiting list for around 1000 days (or weeks - can't exactly remember). That's a long time.
Like, nobody is rushing into this. Surgery costs lots of money too. I think on the NHS it's free though. Not sure how accurate that is.
Also in the UK and certain places intersex isn't a legal option on ID or certificates. Same with non binary (which isn't intersex).
And as a non binary intersex person, I'll be legally my AGAB unless they get it updated.
I also had surgeries done on me as a baby and I don't know if these were reassignment surgeries to make me look more like a girl as I have scars from "hernia removal surgeries". I didn't give consent to these. I don't know if I went through puberty naturally either. It was a mini puberty (some development but it only grew a bit) and happened in stages. I didn't get armpit hair until I was 16 and I have hormone issues.
I'm now entering another mini puberty as I'm starting to develop again (which I don't want). If it turns out I was forcibly given surgeries like these I'll be furious.
But anyway, people say they care about mutilation but aren't banning intersex genital mutilation (and the rest of the surgeries they go through) and yet ban surgeries for under 18s for trans people.
If I remember correctly the only times mastectomy is done -18 is because the child has attempted to take their own life especially if they weren't allowed puberty blockers.
Vaginoplasties aren't done on any trans person until they're at least 16+.
Also anti-trans bills make exceptions for intersex surgeries even though they're just babies or children or young teens.
Trans people give consent but that's considered mutilation by some people but actual non consenual surgery isn't to certain people?
The last time the UK had a petition on non binary being a legal option, they ranted about trans women in sports or something and didn't pay attention to the fact it was about non binary people.
Trans people just want to have healthcare. Florida has banned it for adults. Many more places are doing the same. And yet the people making the laws aren't trans: they're cis people. Honestly we should be in charge of our own healthcare.
I had an idea about a Trans Healthcare Committee or Panel or something made up of trans people, doctors, some cis allies and maybe a supportive detrans person to discuss it and not people who don't know how being trans works.
I'd have more to say but this is basically it because my hand hurts from typing this. Hope this helps. I know a lot as I've done my own research on this.
Pediatric GAC is an even greater atrocity than intersex reassignment, and all of this stuff about "nobody's transitioning kids," "blockers are reversible," "detrans lie about getting fast-tracked" is all a bunch of lies. France, the UK, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland have all recently reviewed the evidence and concluded *there is none.*
Good for you. You are so illiterate and braindead that you believe everything you read without any thought. No one is making kids transition.
Her arms are long af. Like a male
Girls can also have long arms 💀
She is a kind of a hypocrite because psychiatrists also ruin people by prescribing neurotoxic meds and pathologizing human behaviour.
If my child was intersex and my child look like more of a female but has male and female organs I would definitely get the intersect surgery hands down for my child cuz my child would be underneath my and my husband care until she's the age of 18 but as a baby or a child he or she will have the surgery no matter what it's not a child's decision it's the parents decision hands down.
If you don't mind me asking, why? Usually, the surgeries are just cosmetic, so they really don't have a medical benefit. Why not let them have the surgery at 18, when they know a bit more about themselves and what they feel like? the surgery can be scarring and is, in most cases, permanent. This is not something that can be simply wished away if you find out later in life that you "chose wrong" (I.e. the child grows up looking/feeling more like a boy than a girl)
Danielle You don’t choose, the child’s gene choose. In the case of intersex, a DNA test is conducted to determine the child’s proper sex and the useless organ is removed.
If the child grows up to be transgender, then he or she will undergo normal transitioning to the opposite gender. If a sex change is the adult’s desire, a normal sex change operation is done.
Reason for the corrective surgery is usually tied to medical risks, so when corrected, the child grows up to be healthy.
If it is purely cosmetic, it is done so that the child is normal and like other children. Children will point out and make fun of another child that is different. More importantly is that it not cause problems for sexual partners later in life.
Why you would want your child to suffer from a fixable defect is beyond me. It makes about as much sense as refusing to vaccinate your child, but people will still do it.
You are fucking disgusting.
@@asioflammeus4846 True that.
According to published medical ethics, parents only have the right to give proxy consent for surgery if the surgery is medically necessary AND cannot safely be put off until the child is of age to consent. "Normalizing" surgeries for intersex children meet neither criteria, therefore they must be put off until the child becomes adult and decides what they want.
Remember, you aren't just altering the child, you are making a permanent, major, life-long body modification to the ADULT that child will be in just 18 short years. Many intersex persons are very happy with their bodies just the way they were born and say they would have been devastated if their parents had had them altered. Others, who were altered, grow up to feel terrible that their options were denied, because they feel they would have chosen a different surgery or none at all. Intersex is very complex and you can't make a decision solely based on the DNA at birth, because puberty can change everything you thought you knew. The only ethical thing is to not do cosmetic genital surgeries on children too young to give informed consent.
Certainly! Intersex variations can indeed lead to a wide range of differences in sexual development. Here are some key points:
Genital Variations:
Intersex people do not necessarily have “both” male and female genitals. Instead, their anatomy can vary significantly.
Some intersex individuals may be born with mostly aligning anatomy but missing certain parts (e.g., a uterus or testes).
Others might have aligning internal anatomy but differences in secondary traits (like breast development or facial hair).
For instance, a person could have a large clitoris or micropenis because the same tissue in humans can develop into either a clitoris or penis.
The development of labia vs. scrotum and vaginal length also exists on a spectrum1.
Sperm Production and Menstruation:
