Abstract
Given that ample research has established that surgery to `correct' the appearance of intersexed genitals is socially motivated, this article is concerned how actual medical practices obfuscate social interests, and what the results of that obfuscation can be. By applying Eric Parens' distinctive means of categorizing medical procedures as either `enhancements' or `treatments' this article argues that the current means of managing intersexuality fit neither category. The article then proceeds to question the logic of dominant medical practice concerned with intersexuality and proposes new ways to think about intersexuality and provide care for intersexed children. Case studies form exemplars that demonstrate the consequences of the medical and cultural illogic at work in early childhood diagnosis and clinical management.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
