What do you do when your baby is not of any gender?

According to experts, if the sex of the child is difficult to identify due to developmental disorders, it is best for parents to wait, should not immediately operate to avoid unfortunate consequences.

Around the world, about one in 2,000 babies born non-girls and boys, ABC News reported. They are called multi-sex , a condition caused by 60 diseases of the gender development disorder . For treatment, doctors often look at the genitals, determine the sex and correct it accordingly.

Now, surgery has many moral challenges because gender is a complicated concept. Even doctors make mistakes. No one understands a child will feel that way about his "programmed" gender as he grows up. In addition, some surgical arguments can lead to irreversible unfortunate consequences such as infertility or loss of sexual sensation.

Instead of the concept of gender that can be erased and repeated before, experts now think that when it is impossible to identify young sex, it is best to use the existing information to establish the original, later hypothesis. wait, monitor the physiological development of the child before surgery. This will create conditions for children to participate in decision making.

Around the world, about one in 2,000 babies are born not girls and boys.

"Chromosomes don't tell us who we are , " said Dr. Arlene Baratz, a doctor in Pittsburgh (USA). "We expect XX to be a girl, XY is a boy but the children have sex determination problems, even if their bodies are completely normal."

According to Baratz, society needs to be concerned with children's inner feelings and thoughts. There are patients who do not accept their predetermined gender."They are seen by everyone, even the medical world, as a shameful thing," said the sour doctor.

She continued, what is needed to help multi-sex children is support and support from relatives and families . Children need to be voiced about their own problems. Adults must explain to them what is unclear.

Dr. Hsi-Yang Wu, Stanford urologist, said he had 2-3 multiple sex cases each year. " We used to ask all children to have sexual development disorder. But things have changed," Wu explained. "We try to predict the sex of the child. The next 3-4 years, psychologists will give us some ideas."

Wu asserted that parents are often confused and difficult to accept their changed children: " Some parents torn by fear of making a wrong choice and ruining their lives." Sharing the same mood, the biggest concern of doctors is that the child grows up unlike the predicted gender.

The last question is asked: Who will protect the rights of a multi-sex child? Child rights activists say that for all decisions related to gender, children have the right to choose. In case the child is too young, the parents who make the decision to remove the child's reproductive organs must be well informed. Unfortunately, in most cases, parents do not have enough data.

Besides, the family and the doctor need to pay special attention to the feelings of the child during the maturity process.Pay attention to what your child tells you and remember that surgery is not reversible. The removed tissue will be very difficult to return.
