Abstract
Intersex pediatric surgery is a family of surgical practices performed by pediatric urologists which aim to clarify the sex of an individual with differences/disorders of sexual development, specifically those with ‘intersex’ conditions. It aims to functionally and aesthetically disambiguate an individuals’ binary sex that is obscured by intersex conditions. I ethically reassess intersex pediatric surgery in light of contemporary biotechnology, formal specialization in pediatric urology and long-term data on the efficacy of intersex pediatric surgery, finding that there are only select contexts in which intersex pediatric surgery is morally justifiable. I develop novel, operationalizable and testimonially-informed moral criteria to regulate intersex pediatric surgery, working out the details for how medical professionals in pediatric healthcare facilities are best able to facilitate and augment the decision-making of parents as they decide whether intersex pediatric surgery is in the best interests of their child with intersex conditions.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
