Cloacal exstrophy & gender

• Gender Outsiders: Transgendered & Others

Some are born girls, others are made that way. Not all of the latter appreciate their gender assignment.

At the last assessment, eight of the 14 individuals raised as girls had declared themselves boys, including four who had not been told of their surgical transformation. Dr. Reiner says that one child refused at age 12 to accept estrogen injections for induction of puberty because he felt he was a boy. In addition, five subjects were living as females, apparently without complaint. One was too angry to discuss the issue.

I've been researching cloacal exstrophy for a school assignment. I believe that parents should not change the gender of their male babies born with cloacal exstrophy. Parents have been advised for 25 years, maybe more, to change the sex of their male babies born with this defect. It's not medically necessary, and it's damaging emotionally. Some parents don't tell their child their sex has been changed until the child has to start taking hormones around puberty in order to be more female. Male babies who are born with this may have difficulties socially and psychologically, but they are psychologically aware of their male sex. How is a parent to know their child would be ok with a sex change. The parent has a choice and they should choose not to case more problems.

I think it's horrible how many of children, who are different than what society expects, are subjected to surgeries and hormone therapy that can affect them for life. Unless fatal or physically discomforting, surgeries should not be performed on these children (who haven't been able to decidefor themselves) because often these children end up as emotionally scarred individuals. Many parents cover up their children's "disorders" to make them feeling normal but the fact that their children's sex isn't acceptable does everything but make them feel normal. These parents mean well but they are not only harming their children but are making it harder for other children in these situations by making them feel that they are more alone in the world than they really are. The less these surgeries are performed, the more individuals there will be to go out into world and tell their stories and let society know that they are just as normal as a typical "male" or a "female." I now this is much easier said than done but the problem isn't with the individuals who don't fall clearly into the male or female categories of or society. The problem is with the society that sees everything in black and white or good and evil. It is a society that thrives on duality and closes it's eyes to anything in between. Whether male, female, hermaphrodite, or anything else I may have missed, it is your natural right to be on this earth as who you are not who people want you to be.

As the mother of a cloacal exstrophy XY born male child, I know he is all boy. I couldn't make him a girl if I wanted to and I would never do that. I think it is a mistake, but for the children who have recently been changed in the past 5-10 years, I hope things work out for them. There is so much involved with cloacal exstrophy and as a mother I want my child to have every possible surgery there is available for him. I think whatever you are born as on the inside, is what you are. No one would really CHOOSE to be gay because of the way society treats homosexual people, so I can't imagine why someone would think you could change the sex of a boy baby. Genes are so strange. I love my son no matter what he has or doesn't have or what he chooses to do in life. That is what matters.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Cloacal exstrophy & gender. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
