Instead of registering babies born with traits of both sexes as
"neither male nor female", shouldn't they register them as "both
male and female"? Makes no sense to me otherwise.<br>

Now Registered As Third Sex</h3>

<div><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">BERLIN (AP) - A new
law has gone into effect allowing German parents to register
their newborn babies as neither male nor female if they were
born with traits of both sexes.<br>
<br>
The German Parliament in January approved the law that went
into effect Friday. The German Ethics Council, an advisory
group, had urged the change to take the pressure off parents
to make a hasty decision and possibly commit to surgery
immediately after birth, the dpa news agency reported.<br>
<br>
The council had argued, among other things, that many people
born with both sex characteristics who were operated on as
children say they wouldn't have consented to the surgery.<br>
<br>
Parents had previously been required by law to register their
children's name and gender within one week with authorities</span></div>
