Lost in between

When a child is born as an inter-sexual individual what is to be done? Should the parents have the right to decide what gender the child should be? Or should that child be able to decide later on in life? My opinion on this subject is not a straight answer because this subject is not black or white. If a child is born as an inter-sexual, nobody had control over that. Therefore if a child is in danger of medical distress then of course fix the problem and choose the anomaly that is the most suitable for the child to have the fewest medical problems. If there are no medical problems that could be brewing then the child should be left the way they are and they should just be given the love and support that any child should receive. On the other hand not everyone in this world is loving or kind.

Society does not treat people outside the norms very well, but with each passing day more and more people slowly begin to open their minds to change. People in society are taught from a very young age that there are only two genders in the world, male and female and nothing else. But that simply is not the case. But the thought of only two genders is reinforced through everything in society like school test, applications for jobs and colleges, almost everything ask the question, Male or Female.

People in society should accept an intersexual with open arms. Everyone is unique in their own different way. Just because a child is born an intersexual which is an individual with the characteristics of both genders does not mean that they have no feelings or thoughts. They should be treated like everyone else.

Even though there are many people that are accepting of people that are intersexual, there are people that are not; sadly these are usually “religious” people. But even the religious people should accept an intersexual because the Bible does say to love everyone one even the different and non-accepted in the society, Jesus was a friend to the friendless. So those who call themselves religious and are not accepting or are judgmental against people that are different in any way are hypocrites. The only one to judge is God and that is in His own timing.

So if a child is born as an intersexual the parent should accept and raise that child to the best of their ability and show that child the love and kindness that it deserves as a human being. The parents should try to be an understanding and show support to the child especially during some of the phases of life of its life.
