Intersexed babies are more common than most people think. In the past, and still today, doctors and parents reassign their childrens' genders based on what they want before the child is old enough to consent. Several groups of people (like people opposed to FGM) argue that it's not ethically acceptable to reassign a child's gender until they are old enough to decide for themselves. As researchers do more studies on intersexed children who were reassigned at birth, they find that it's more than just the genitals that decides what your gender is. And when you mix it up based on what the parents or doctor thinks it should be, that creates a mess for the lives of those children.
There's more to gender than just the genitals. Every person has five genders, which in most cases are all aligned the same. However, when someone steps in and changes one of your genders for you, it's going to cause a lot of confusion.
