I saw this too and I agree with this, give the child a name that could be used for a boy or a girl and let the child decide when they're old enough which gender they feel more like or they can decide to stay the way they are.

Doctors need consent to do any kind of surgery on a baby, but parents often prefer to choose a gender, raise the child as the chosen gender and the doctors tell the parents never to tell the child about it, which is so wrong.
