It is amazing so many people who listen the the mantra of "I was born this way" raise their children as gender neutral and allow these types of decisions, ignoring the fact that the children were "born that way".
What do you say to the parents of a child that is intersexed? In the good ole dayz the choice of whether sex the child was was left to a doctor, or rather a surgeon. They didn't wait to see what the child thought. Now they do. Why shouldn't they allow a child to decide which way they were born

Because that decision was already made ahead of time for them. They were "born that way". Those swimmers and chromosones decided a long time ago.
I've read several stories recently on this. It is also on the rise in Europe. Although I believe transgender issues are real, at what age should steps be taken to change a child's sex? My sister was a major tomboy and a kid, she used a boy's name, wanted to wear boy's clothes, and had GI Joe instead of Barbie. If she had been asked I'm sure she would have chosen to BE a boy, but right now she is perfectly happy as a woman.

Regardless of how you are born, you don't always feel the sex you were born as. Kids going through gender indenity disorder suffer greatly often because of that attitude. And raising a child gender neutral has nothing to do with sex changes.
Sex reassignment is no small matter and not a decision that a child should make. If a girl is tomboyish then she should be supported in acting in whatever manner feels natural to her within the bounds of decent behavior. The suicide rate among people with gender reassignment is high. They wind up with parts that they may associate with but actually don't have any sensation.
I would think the RIGHT thing to do for a child who felt that they were the wrong sex would be to get counseling for them to deal with it until such age as they mature sexually.
Gender identity disorder is a very rare condition. Hormone treatments, not to mention the initial medical and psychological tests, are very expensive and probably not covered by insurance. The article says that gender reassignment surgery (alteration of genitalia) is not done on patients under 18. Is this really a pressing issue? Of the very few children affected with this disorder, do all of them have parents who are willing or able to help them? No. It's not an easy, quick, or inexpensive path to take, so I imagine that any families in that situation know far more about what they are doing than the layperson does.

Wow!
You clearly do NOT know what intersexed means. You should educate yourself before offering a response. An intersexed person has sexual characteristic of both genders. I surgeon would alter their body to match what the parents and specialists decided. In other words they played god an often got the choice wrong.
Smacking yourself in the head hasn't helped so far....
Yeah, considering that the topic was NOT about intersexed parents but kids making this choice, you should educate yourself by sticking to the topic. Nice try though.
You are right, smacking my head in disbelief hasn't helped, the left wingers will still remain foolish regardless of the help we try to give them, even when we present their hypocrisies out to them, they cling to their guilt.
I don't think they said they did. They don't start that until the onset of puberty. And even then usually after a few years.
The typical treatment in someone under 18 is to delay puberty. They then move to hormone treatments around 16 or allow puberty to take its course from there, depending on what the young adult wishes.
I do not see a single thing wrong with this either.
