Ok, Long story short i was watching a documentary video about Intersex that coverd a lot of seldom (If ever) covered information, one thing though that a perticular doctor said though has been bothering me quite a bit and I just cant figure out what kind of mental gymnastics that doctor is doing to have suce a viewpoint.
So I would like to see what you guys & gals (& in-betweeners) think.
In an interview this Doctor on the issue of Leaving Intersexed Children as they are and alowing them to choose wich direction (if any) that they want to go when they are able to, his responce was "that it would be Unethical to leave them as they were born and extremely unethical to allow them to remain as they were born" he did not explain or even attempt to apply any logical reasoning to his position, he only attempted to justify it by showing the interviewer pictures on his office computer that were not shown on the video (claimed to be to graphic to show) and asking them "What would you tell Mommy & Daddy that that is?"
Personally I cant find anything asside from fear drivin bigotry & the like to explain this viewpoit.
Thoughts?
