    I LOVE this mother. She's so accepting of her child and their pronouns and I wish more parents were like that. It's what children and just people in general deserve but a lot don't actually have. I'm incredibly lucky to have such open minded people in my life and I hope there will be more people and allies like that in the future.

    I think its super important that the mother told her child from the start that they were intersex. This is super super important. I know of many intersex people who's parents kept it a secret from their child only for them to find out in their adult life after a doctor visit.
    I am very happy for this child having supportive parents letting them explore their identity as a intersex person.

    This is very good way to raise an intersex child. However, intersex people are still either male or female depending on how many Y chromosomes they have. It's not really "third gender", so their gender is unknown until they decide to be male or female when they grow up.
