assignment does not always happen before birth.

There are lots of kids born with ambiguous & differing genitals where parents & doctors make an assignment for that kid outside the womb.

also ignores a lot of different chromosomal and hormonal differences outside the norm.

This sounds suspicious. I don't really believe that the ambiguity is actually that ambiguous to the point where it's actually hard to decide.

Or that such "assignments" can be made without ending with suicide.

It's not like biological sex is actually defined by visible members - it's a chromosome thing.

Well for one, it'd cause dysphoria, not necessarily suicide. Some people feel bad their whole lives without killing themselves.

But the main point is, that's why doctors shouldn't do these assignments. Why on earth should the decision of what sex characteristics to have be up to anyone but yourself.

I don’t think most people would argue against medically intersex people identifying outside of traditional norms, which I would imagine is a small subset of people identifying as trans.
