This paper examines the evidence for the claim that individuals with ambiguous sex at birth will accept the sex role of rearing over that indicated by chromosomes, gonads, hormones, internal or external genitalia. The evidence as presented by the principal proponents of this claim is found wanting on methodologic and clinical grounds. The conclusions drawn from it are considered unacceptable.
