You have to wonder whether would-be parents should pass an aptitude test before being allowed to reproduce ?

The other side of the coin is the practice of doctors arbitrarily deciding whether gender-indeterminate babies should be male or female and surgically removing the “unnecessary” bits.

Exceptions don't prove the rule statistically.

They are called outliers for a reason.

Currently (I find it incredible to believe that they would make that decision without consulting the parents) here are the stats:

It is estimated that up to 1.7 percent of the population has an intersex trait and that approximately 0.5 percent of people have clinically identifiable sexual or reproductive variations.

Considering the point of gender is about reproduction (all other things being equal) does it make sense to make that decision based on the ability to reproduce?

Perhaps not.  I don't have the answer, but seeing people pretend to be something they aren't is not the answer either.
