Youngest sex change operation

The sex change operation on a week old baby must certainly go down in the Record Books – the baby is hardly a week old. Born to a middle class family, the baby had male genitals on the outside but female organs internally. The parents found something odd a few days after its birth and consulted the pediatrician. He suggested that they should go for a sex change operation. That has been done and the baby is now a girl – she is expected to lead a normal life as a girl. The team of doctors deserves a round of applause for the feat. The youngest to undergo such an operation till now was a 12-year old transsexual named Kim of Vienna – that was in 2007.

Unhappy as a boy, Kim became youngest ever transsexual at 12

I am glad that the baby can live a normal life and does not have to live as a hermaphrodite.

I agree with ahol888 but,...who is to say that that baby when they grow up and learn of this happening to them that they wish their parents would of made the other choice. How sad for this child. Are there any tests to see if a child is born with this condition. What causes this and can it be prevented.

yes ahol and merinerinaz - the doctors believe that she would lead a normal life ... as to why such situations occur - well, it is an act of god ... we mortals do not have any control over these ...

I knew of a baby who have two genital organ. That of a male and that of a female. I could not believe it either but i saw it with my own eyes. It is good that the parents already addressed the situation on the early period of the babys' life because it would give her the chance to lead a normal life.

Well, the doctors should be praise since they avoid the child's misfortune..

yes, the doctors did a good job ... it was a week-old child ... they gave it a new lease of life ...

I don't see the problem with it... Better to go through life as one gender than both. Especially if she has ovaries and a uterus. But I do not agree with transexual surgeries on anyone younger than 21, even with parental permission... At least not under 18. Shoot, I don't think anyone under the age of 18 should be allowed to have any plastic surgery even with consent of an adult.
