Multiple Choice

Significantly, they are surgeons and endocrinologists rather than psychologists, bioethicists, representatives from inter- sex peer support organizations, or parents of intersex children. The team examines the infant and chooses either male or female as a "_______," then informs the parents that this is the child's "_______." Medical technology, including surgery and hormones, is then used to make the child's body conform as closely as possible to that sex.
