    Human Rights Watch was pretty concerned about prematurely assigning gender to intersex children, back in 2017. I expect there’s more regional variation in this than you’d think.

      Yeah, I have a feeling here in Indiana, they tend not to tell the parents that they won’t know the gender for a while.

        I would not want to try and explain “intersex” to some of my high school classmates (or my brother TBH). “You mean my kid was born a slur?”

        Maybe Kentucky has changed in the past few decades, but I doubt it.
