In simplest terms, the doctor is saying, "You're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't." However, I think he may have the level of gravity backwards. While I'm led to believe they can now do all kinds of genetic testing to better determine which direction to go, I think it is worse to assign a gender than it is to allow the child to grow up and choose or not choose. After all, we do live in a gender binary though society is beginning to accept that it is more of a spectrum than a binary.

Not quite.

ok, here is a similar statement to what he was saying that I think will be clearer to people here.

"Males who grow breasts that don't let me remove them right away is Unethical, and if they decide they want to keep them that is more unethical"

or if you want to boil it down farther & remove the unethical term he is using, he seems to be saying "What looks Different Must be forced to be the same as everything else."

Please understand I am not trying to be hurtful, but what happens in the school locker room? A child is born with ambiguous genitalia. The parents give their child a unisex name like Taylor. Little Taylor grows up wearing clothes that aren't distinctly female or male, though most "male" clothing is sort of unisex in that females wear jeans and T-shirts, too. When Taylor starts pre-school or kindergarten, everyone wants to know if Taylor is a boy or a girl. How does Taylor answer? About the time puberty kicks in, the school starts making kids get naked in front of each other in the locker room. Girls use one locker room, boys the other. Which one does Taylor use? Kids are incredibly cruel. Teenage girls are the worst. Taylor's life is going to be hell if there is always a special locker room, a special rest room, a special shower for Taylor.

From the perspective of always being a special case that doesn't fit in either category, Taylor could suffer great psychological harm, thus the statement it is unethical to let the child decide. Conversely, given that doctors only guess right 15% of the time, it is also unethical to choose for the child at birth, or at least before school age. There's no inherently right answer, but of the options, one is least worst. I would argue that with adequate counseling and lots of family support, the best choice is to let the child decide. It's not ideal, but it is better than surgically-induced GID. So, the doctor got it backward, in my opinion. Who knows? The child may decide to remain as is, and that is certainly acceptable, too.

No Offense/hurt taken, I realize the topic can be difficult to understand to others.

ok, on the school hell issue, their are several ways around that..

It also crosses over with other issues that have been solved with "Special Schools" and Homeschooling.

With Homeschooling the only drawback is not as much social interaction with other children (their is still plenty, but some view it as not enough), and no this is not the "paranoid parent" kind of homeschooling, it is the kind where the school work is assigned by a teacher and graded by a teacher, it can even be done Online.

With Special Schools, no they don't have to build new ones, their are always vacant schools and other buildings for rent that could be used for this, and while being primarily for Gender Variant Students, not being Exclusionary of others willing to attend, which can introduce a powerful tool to remove the fear and ignorance (& phobias) that causes the whole bullying issue.
