The actual number of babies born without a clear sexual dimorphism (sexual ambiguity) is EXTREMELY rare. If you lump all intersex categories at birth, it's still less that .05% (less than 1 in 2000), and many of those are undetectable without DNA or cytogenetic chromosomal testing.

This recent "Let the child pick their own sex" craze is pure nuts (even nuttier when a parent gets to pick the sex of a child born with normal sexual equipment). If a baby comes out and you can't tell what sex it is, well then, that's a whole different story. I still don't think the numbers justify a non-designation category on a birth certificate.
