“Congratulations, it’s a them!” Calls for doctors to stop calling babies boys and girls

There are growing calls for doctors and maternity staff to stop calling newborn babies boys and girls before the babies have had a chance to decide for themselves what they want to be.

Transgender rights campaigner Bobbi Sherlock said referring to babies as simply “boys and girls” is a form of child abuse and people who do it need to be stopped.

“How dare these so-called doctors assume what a baby wants to be without first getting the baby’s consent! They haven’t yet identified as anything and must be given a chance to do so without these old fashioned dinosaurs deciding what they are on their behalf. Frankly it’s disgusting.”

Many people agree but that’s because those people are mental. We asked Dr Philip McIntyre, an obstetrician for over 20 years at the National Maternity Hospital, how he determines a baby’s gender. He told us “Boys have willys and girls have fannys.”

Bobbi Sherlock however said protests will begin outside maternity units until calling newborn babies boys and girls is officially recognised as a hate crime.

“Doctors have too much authority. It’s ridiculous. They shouldn’t get to play God. That’s Sam Smith’s job.”
