not my child, but i was wondering

i know of a little boy, he is very sweet, but seems very confused. he is about 12. his mom recently told me that he has a drastically inverted penis. his parents just kind of ignore the situation and hope it will get better on its own. his mom came to me because of my child care experience and wanted to know if there is anything they should do. i didnt really suggest anything, 1)because im not a doctor and its not my place. 2) because it seems like there is more going on then just an inverted penis. he is a very pretty little boy. very long eye lashes and big eyes. his been going through what his parents call a "phase" for while now of wanting to wear a bra. his parents try get him involved with sports like other boys, but he has no interest. he would rather sing and dance. not long ago he asked why a boy cant wear girl swimsuits and dresses. he was also questioning me when i was nursing my daughter why dads cant do that but moms can. im always nice about it. he has also developed a lot of anger issues. he doesnt get along with other kids at school and it makes me very sad, because he really is a very sweet kid. could an inverted penis be signs of an intersex condition? i dont want to suggest surgery if he decides later in life that he would be happier as a female, but, at the same time, with him having so many anger issues, im scared of what teasing he may go through in locker rooms since he is quickly reaching the locker room age. thoughts?
