according to the traditional family values crowd, the biological distinction between males and females is "natural," and essential to civilization as we know it, yadda yadda. But a small number of babies (one in a million?) are born who have both sets of sexual equipment (i.e., are hermaphrodites). Until recently, the obstetricians delivering the babies would then decide (with consent of the parents?) which sex the kid should be and do the appropriate snipping.
But isn't that kind of operation unnatural? what's a traditional family values person to do? -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti." (Go your own way and let people talk.) -- Karl, paraphrasing Dante.
