| | A patient's view of ambiguous genitalia |
 | | A baby born with ambiguous genitalia or a teenager presenting at puberty is in the first instance a psychological not a surgical emergency. | | | A disturbing proportion of parents of children born with ambiguous genitalia also report massive pressure from some doctors to consent to genital surgery on the ground that it is the only moral and medical way forward. | | | Faced with parents' strong emotions, it may be tempting to operate away the problem soon after birth, but parents should be made aware that they may face bitter resentment if their grown-up children are not content with their surgery or their assigned role. |

| | Ambiguous Genitalia - Lucile Packard Children's Hospital |
| | Ambiguous genitalia can be a traumatizing experience for parents. | | | Very few infants with ambiguous genitalia have genitals that are so ambiguous that a gender determination is not made at birth. | | | When a child's genitalia appear ambiguous at birth, your child's physician will conduct both a medical history and a physical examination of your child's external genitalia. |

| | An Emerging Ethical and Medical Dilemma: Should Physicians Perform Sex Assignment on Infants with Ambiguous Genitalia? |
| | Surgical treatment of ambiguous genitalia in infancy exemplifies an instance where prevailing medical wisdom, in an area of immense significance to individuals and their families, developed without any conclusive evidence that surgical intervention was appropriate. | | | It was thus that the theory that an infant’s sex could be successfully reassigned had a profound influence on the standard of care for infants born with ambiguous genitalia, a micropenis or those losing their penis by trauma or accidental amputation. | | | Relying on a nurture-based theory of gender identity, physicians advised parents to surgically alter their intersexed infant and to raise the child in a manner consistent with its surgically altered genitalia without regard to the gender identity that might have otherwise naturally developed. |

| | Just Call me Chris/Topher?: The Trouble with "Ambiguous Genitalia" |
| | It was initially believed that "a person's sexual body image is largely a function of socialization," as a case study by John Money seemed to support that a child's sexual identity is merely an effect of social learning (5). | | | This new model advocates alternatives to "harmful or unnecessary surgery" and in-depth counseling for both the child and the child's family (4). | | | Furthermore, the number of individuals receiving "normalizing" surgery on the genitalia is approximated to be one or two in every one thousand births. |

| | Management of Intersexuality |
| | We first, however, add this caveat: These recommendations are based on our experiences, the input of some trusted colleagues, the comments of intersexed persons of various etiologies and the best interpretation of our reading of the literature. | | | Our concern is primarily how the individual will develop and prefer to live post puberty when he or she becomes most sexually active. | | | In the majority of cases this sex of assignment will indeed be in concert with the appearance of the genitalia (e.g., in A.I.S. In certain childhood situations, however, such assignment will be counter to the genital appearance (e.g., for reductase deficiency [9]. |

| | The belief in vanishing genitalia was not only plausible but institutionalized; many influential Nigerians expressed outrage when police released suspected genital thieves. | | | Social and cultural traditions contributed to the outbreak as many Nigerian ethnic groups "ascribe high potency to the external genitalia as ritual and magical objects to promote fecundity or material prosperity to the unscrupulous" (Ilechukwu 1988, 313). | | | Women were also seen holding on to their breasts directly or discreetly by crossing the hands across the chest. |

| | It is known, particularly from transsexuals, that casting doubt as to sexual identity usually forces greater introspection and security regarding a preferred life's direction even though counter to upbringing, parent's wishes, social and cultural norms and may result in less than adequate genitalia. | | | Subsequent cases should, however, be managed in light of this new evidence. | | | When Joan thought she might really be a boy, instead of the girl her parents and the doctors told her she was, the psychic discord greatly frightened her even though she had suspected such was true since second grade. |
