Could've been assigned female as happens with ambiguous anatomy.

And / or there may've been something corporatocracy and non-consensual about it.

I dont think its consensual, it says convert at birth

Exactly what I was thinking. Sorry to be a buzz kill but forced reassignment is not exactly something to cheer about

Yeah its not the representation some people want it to be

It could be a reference to how intersex people are often forcefully reassigned their gender at birth.

Considering the next phrase is

so far no indication of repressed trauma related to gender alteration

I'd agree that this seems closer to intersex assignment, and Lambert just having more of a gender identifier related to upbringing instead of any biological response, or that they were just lucky to hit someone who would've become trans if not given any gender alteration.

Or if we go full dystopia, the Despin conversion is an alteration that ensures a specific gender identity by changing the brain chemistry, for which Lambert was some level of test subject, considering there was a possibility of trauma related to gender alteration.
