Correct, it's actually very clear in the Mishna the various dinim of the surviving mother and subsequent born infant. Somehow it was forgotten and surviving mother is of no mention in the later Poskim as being performed in their times - according to a big talmid chacham I listened too. Modern Historians posit the first case of surviving mother to be in the 1500's, although they mention the Talmudic indications that it was done in Roman era. In any case this wasn't a continuous procedure throughout history.

The Chazon Ish actually points to many medical complicated procedures which were forgotten over the years, as a sign that later generations were not intrinsically more advanced than earlier generations.

There is a lot of discussion about how common these treatments are.

Here is the data on children ages 6-17 from 2017-2021, based on insurance claims -

Genital surgery in children is rare but does happen, with 56 cases over the 5 years they reviewed.

This is great. No need for treatments. Just walk up, self identify, and compete.

I don't understand the sports issue tbh. I thought the point of separate categories is for fair competition with others of similar physical ability. Gender shouldn't have anything to do with it.

Do you mean biological gender or gender identity?

I meant the gender identity. but even biological sex shouldn't really matter, there can just be divisions based on metrics and ability: weight, height, muscle composition, etc. depending on the sport.
