@tansy I have a friend who went through that, and it has caused them a lot of issues. Sometimes intersex reassignment surgeries are sold to parents as operations to "fix" hypospadias. This article has a lot of good information about that: https://intersexroadshow.blogspot.com/2013/02/hypospadias-intersexuality-and-gender.html

That blog has a lot of good information about intersex and related topics: https://intersexroadshow.blogspot.com/2011/04/intersex-genitalia-illustrated-and.html

I first started looking into this because I was circumcised as an infant without my consent, and that has caused me a lot of problems. While not as severe as most intersex reassignment operations, I was cut so tight that my skin would sometimes tear and bleed. I wasn't left with enough skin to properly cover an erection. All children deserve to be protected from genital surgery without consent, whether they are male, female, or intersex.
