Were the standards any different in the 80s? I've heard stories of people getting "corrective surgery" in infancy but the cases that I've heard are not from the US or are much older.

Outside of North America maybe, that I don't know. But in North America they tell the parents they won't know the gender for a while, to name and dress and groom the child as the parents choose, but they let them know it might change. It's so rare though, I've seen one case in 20 years of hospital work.
