Expert Solution

Intersex babies are born with conflicting sexualities and may be divided into various categories, depending on the physical qualities they portray. When they're born, their families decide the gender of the babies for doctors to perform surgery according to the parents' wishes. However, brain development varies from a normal baby's development, considering their sexuality is both male and female from birth. Lessons learnt from intersex babies teach us that the human brain cannot be wholly female or male. Some brain parts portray female and male characteristics (Thomson, 2019).
