The OP blur lacks critical information. Is the kid intersex? There are several legitimate types of intersex (a few years ago when I helped my wife study for her medical boards in urology I would have remembered all the types, lol, she made me go over all that with her since it was stuff she had not seen in RL). Anyway, if the kid has a physiological issue, this treatment is entirely right. It can make a difference in gender assignment surgery, etc, later.
Again, need more information.
Funny story. My wife saw an old guy—ww2 or korea vet (I can't remember)—at the VA when she was a resident. Married, no kids. Don;t remember what he presented with. She examines him, talks to him, etc. Goes out to the guys doc who has seen him at the VA for years and who called her for a consult... she asks him if he ever notice the guy's pubic hair was a triangle, not a diamond shape? The doc looks at her like "WTF?" She says, "the guy is intersex. Sure enough on some future bloodwork she adds some tests, and the guy is genetically female. (she never told the patient, BTW, some 80 YO doesn't need to know that). None of the guy's docs had ever noticed.
