OK so how about this. It is so fucking simple that I can't believe all these people with freakin' PHDs and all kinds of pedigrees behind their goddamned names can't figure this out.

This kind of pisses me off. No kidding. I don't get too mad about much but this bites my ass. How about let's hold off on all the expensive freakin' surgery until the child reaches puberty and see how they identify. Which gender they feel stronger drawn toward. If you are born both ways then in ancient times you would be blessed by the Gods in the way of HermAphrodite or hermaphrodite. The qualities of two gods within one body. Hermes and Aphrodite.

Who give a doctor a freakin' right to dictate which one is stronger in the Psych. Who give any one the right to choose other than the person that has to live with it? So you are born intersex? HermAphrodite. Both embodied by Hermes and Aphrodite. In ancient times you would have been touched by the gods. Now we know but wait. Let the person choose what gender they want to be.  The parents. I told my parents "fuck you." I will be what I want to be. Which don't amount to much but I have had a lot of fun along the way. I am comfortable with who I am.

So really? To me and my opinion it is up to the child. Children less than 8 years old are wise beyond their years. Around 8 then they start getting bogged down with all this bullshit of this world. Give them until they reach puberty and then let them decide. (Shakes head in disbelief that parents could ever be that selfish)

OK so say I ever had a child with a woman (Yeah right since I am sterile   (that sux and why I can never be a real man because.... I don't know why but it kind of pisses me off though.) I would never pick their religion. When they are of age then they could pick their own religion. I may not agree with it but I would support their choices. I would even attend a church that I did not agree with just to be there with them. And support them unconditionally and respect it unless they would tell me I am going to burn in hell. Then we would have one helluva talk.

Even a nephew of mine I attended a Catholic church and contrary to some's beliefs, I didn't burst out in flames.  Hello Shan and Trinity. Ya'll know I will never let ya'll live anything down. I love ya'll though and that is the whole spirit of the forum. We can laugh and poke each other without hard feelings.  I luv ya'll both.

But please give the child time. Unless it is a life threatening condition give the child time to figure out who they want to be. I won't even say "what". Besides we are never "whats". We are "Whos" It's not about what or it or anything but it is about "who" and that who is female or male. Hell if you are born with both and it isn't life threatening then that child was touched by the Gods or blessed by God with both female and male and truly made physical in God's image. It may not seem like it but if they choose then so be it. If the choose female, then so be it. If they choose male, then so be it. If they choose both then so be it. We are all beautiful creations.
