...babies born with intersex conditions (if those are known at birth) will still have a sex assigned at birth, recorded on the birth certificate. (There may may not be surgery.) It is not uncommon for people with intersex conditions to pursue a change of gender marker later on in life, but under these laws, changes tend to be very difficult.

The situation you mentioned -- a baby being born with both sets of genitals - is very rare, perhaps one in a hundred thousand babies.
