Let Intersex Children Choose]( This New York City health official is tired of parents being led astray on surgeries for infants. Twenty-five years ago, while doing an emergency room shift as a third-year pediatrics resident in Washington, D.C., I met a patient who has been seared into my memory. My patient’s gender was not immediately apparent. I asked questions to narrow the potential reasons for their abdominal pain, including one about menstrual cycles.
