MC v. Aaronson: Difference between revisions

Line 41:

Three months later, the Department of Social Services stepped in. Court records show the biological parents relinquished their rights.

Court records indicate that at birth, M.C. was identified as a male. During a reflux surgery, "female organs were discovered" (In current nomenclature, this is referred to as [[Ambiguous genitalia]]). Doctors at the Greenville Hospital System concluded the baby was a "true hermaphrodite." (The word 'hermaphrodite' is no longer used to describe intersex or DSD conditions because it's biologically inexact and also offensive). M.C. was born with a relatively rare intersex disorder called ovotesticular DSD, which doctors say makes it particularly difficult to predict gender.

They referred the case to the {{UNI|Medical University of South Carolina|MUSC}} where ultimately, sex re-assignment surgery was performed in April 2006 on the then 1-year-old.
