This book represents the proceedings from a conference that took
place in Dallas in the spring of 1999 which was entitled "Pediatric
Gender Assignment - A Critical Reappraisal." Some participants
rightfully argued that the conference really focused on the issue
of pediatric gender assignment, and that reassignment was not
applied in most cases. Their comments were reflected in the title
of this monograph. This multidisciplinary meeting was sponsored by
a conference grant from the National Institutes of Health, and a
broad inquiry into this complex topic took place from many points
of view. Basic scientists offered insight into mechanisms of sexual
differentiation of the gonads, physical phenotype and imprinting of
the central nervous system. Endocrinologists reviewed their
experience in diagnosis and management, surgeons described
traditional as well as innovative approaches, and there was strong
representation from the ethical and behavioral sciences. In putting
together such a panel, it was essential that we identify a cast of
speakers who could address their viewpoints with strong
convictions, and yet not let their passions render the meeting
counter productive. We were not disappointed. While many differing
points of view were firmly expressed by the panelists and audience,
all viewpoints were accorded the respect they deserved. The concept
behind the meeting and this book really originated in 1997 shortly
after Diamond and Sigmundson published their long term follow up
study of the John/Joan case.
