While the Intersex Society of North America (ISNA) is now defunct, and the opinion presented by Denso is an opinion of the founder of that organisation. I would emphasise that the aims and achievements of that organisation were admirable."Why shouldn’t children with intersex be raised in a “third gender”? We advocate assigning a boy or girl gender because intersex is not, and will never be, a discrete biological category any more than male or female is, and because assigning an “intersex” gender would unnecessarily traumatize the child."
How can you assign a gender (boy or girl) without surgery? | Intersex Society of North America
When you assign a child a gender as boy or girl, what you’re doing is labeling them a boy or girl. That’s it. You don’t need a surgeon for that.isna.org
Their website, though now defunct is still worth perusing. It continues as an historical reference only.
The sister website that continues that excellent work InterAct is also worth perusing.
