 * When deciding the sex of a baby by doing a surgical procedure because of DSD, it is sometimes a dire plan. For example, Warnke ‘2000’ did a case on David Reimer, who used to be a girl. He was born a boy. After a circumcision gone wrong that burned off majority of his penis, they decided to raise him as a girl. As a child he was picked on because David was a girl, but did everything like a boy. When his parents told him what happened, he immediately changed his sex orientation back to male by doing surgical procedures and is now married. This goes to show changing the sex of a baby is not always for the better of the child.
