Question

1.) With parental consent, a newborn infant with ambiguous genitalia undergoes reconstructive surgery to align the baby’s external anatomy with its biological sex at birth, as determined by the baby’s doctor. As the child grows, they begin to express feelings of gender distress. During prepubescence, the parents are supportive of their child's desire to ‘socially transition’ by taking on a name, pronoun, style of dress that matches their gender identity, while encouraged to express any gender ‘atypical’ behavior without limits or shame. Once in high school, the child's social history is reviewed by a school psychologist who has determined that in adolescence, they now experience lower than average levels of anxiety and depression among their peers.
