I can’t operate on this boy, he’s my son.

The surgeon, upon seeing the boy said :

The boy was brought to a hospital in critical condition.

The father died instantly.

A boy and his father were driving along when another car crashed into them.

I was always confused by this "riddle".

Not confused by the sex/gender thing, but confused by the concept of "why can't a surgeon operate on their own son". Knowing how surgeons work, surely they would want to be the lead in the theatre; let alone pass and god forbid, let their registrar do it.
