Spoiler: Private Practice also tackles a usually ignored subject

In a week that saw Law & Order: SVU use a transgendered child at the center of an episode, Private Practice had an episode where a baby was born with ambiguous genitalia. I love PP for always tackling the difficult issues and I give them props for writing this into the storyline. One thing that did bother me though was that as soon as the baby was born, the term intersexed should have been used. It was not until later that they referred to the baby as intersexed and the word was only used once. The show did a good job of discussing the options for intersexed babies and their parents and bringing light to an issue that is more widespread than people think. I also was very pleased when Addison stood up for not choosing the baby's gender with corrective surgery performed on the newborn, instead opting to have the parents raise the baby with mixed genitalia and allowing the child to choose their gender later in life. This is a controversial subject and I'm curious how other viewers took it? This is another subject I have been talking about in my Communication and Gender class so I have many thoughts about it, but what about those who do not have a background in the topic. Did you understand the storyline?

As for other things happening on the show:
- I'm glad to see Archer gone. He was obviously not going to change his womanizer ways and he was only causing trouble for Naomi.
- The only important thing I got out of the Sheldon/Violet couples therapy storyline was the importance of communication. Does this mean Violet will be ready to open up to Sheldon and Pete in coming weeks? I hope so because she really needs to let Cooper off the hook so that he can be happy with Charlotte.
- I have always been on Charlotte's side, but this week when she sleeps with Archer in an attempt to make Cooper mad at her, instead of the other way around, I was expecting Cooper to walk. I give him a lot of credit for standing by Charlotte, which proves he really does love her unconditionally.
- I can't believe Sam called his girlfriend Naomi! And he didn't even realize he did it. Trouble, trouble, trouble.

What did you think of the episode? Are you sad that Dell has been underused in recent episodes? What do you want to see happen in the Charlotte/Cooper relationship? Leave your opinions here.
