Today's experts typically recommend that surgery for ________ newborns be postponed until their naturally developing physical appearance and gender identity become clear.

A) transsexual
B) intersex
C) gender-typed
D) asexual

Surgery for intersex newborns, who are born with ambiguous genitalia or reproductive organs, is often recommended but experts now suggest that it should be postponed until the child's gender identity is clear enough for them to participate in the decision-making process. Transsexual, gender-typed, and asexual do not refer to the same condition as intersex.
