A lot more people are born as hermaphrodites than you might imagine. I think it may be as many as on in 100! Anyway considering that the folks at Children's Hospital Boston probably aren't crazy and lifesite.net obviously has an agenda I'm sure there's more to the story. "The program primarily serves infants, children, adolescents and young adults with genitourinary or hormonal disorders or other medical issues that may make it difficult to determine their sex, and that may interfere with sexual and reproductive function. Girls with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), for example, are overexposed to masculinizing hormones in utero and may be born with the genital appearance of boys."www.childrenshospital.org/views/april07/new_clinic_addresses_intersex_and_gender_issues.html

blondie makes a good point.
There's a difference between kids born with a congenital condition and kids who have gender/sexual identity questions that arise around the time they hit puberty.

I normally read the whole article and do a little more research before I post but I'll admit I did not this time. I had the unfortunate slip of equating Massachusetts with perversion without justifying it. Thanks for pointing out my error.
