The first question people ask when a child a born is “Girl or boy?” Sometimes, the answer is not that straightforward.
Neither girl nor boy - perhaps a bit of both. Intersex people form an invisible community, one that has no real legal, social or medical status. Is it a pathological condition, an abnormality or another difference among so many others? There are only two boxes to tick on the birth certificate – male or female. Does that mean these babies should be assigned a gender by operating on them from birth? This is still the case in France, where irreversible surgery is carried out on 2,000 children every year.
