So what do we do for people born intersex? Flip a coin?

Some people do not handle ambiguity very well.

Gender-neutral pronouns are weird. My best friend's older sibling was born female; now ze's male. We refer to em using the most contrived gender-neutral pronoun we can conjure up on the spur of the moment. Last we checked, eee doesn't care how we address ehm.

No, the doctor makes a detailed examination and then says the child is male.

Better to not have a dick than to be a total one.
