Outside of North America maybe, that I don't know. But in North America they tell the parents they won't know the gender for a while, to name and dress and groom the child as the parents choose, but they let them know it might change. It's so rare though, I've seen one case in 20 years of hospital work.
Human Rights Watch was pretty concerned about prematurely assigning gender to intersex children, back in 2017. I expect there's more regional variation in this than you'd think.
Yeah, I have a feeling here in Indiana, they tend not to tell the parents that they won't know the gender for a while.
I would not want to try and explain "intersex" to some of my high school classmates (or my brother TBH). "You mean my kid was born a slur?"
Maybe Kentucky has changed in the past few decades, but I doubt it.
