Gee, why would a PAIS man want to be with AIS women when personal issues are going to be sooooo different?
If I would have the wont to participate in personal support group dynamics then I'd go to where the similarities outweigh the differences....and a
men's group?
for those with
my condition....hah!...no way, Jose!! Do I want to be part of a gathering ...where they would be chattering men's stuff and focusing on men's issues??
Would men know about and/or could relate to women's issues or .....women about men's....it's only practical...and common sense.
Sometimes the same umbrella (as in an umbrella term IS, DSD, CAH etc) can block out the sun as well as the rain.....not all within the same label are going to feel comfortable or get the support they need; the individual/specific differences requiring some to go on to where the same "language" (thoughts/feelings and personal psyche) is "spoken".
PS: since I'm one of those "orphans" who don't have a "ready-freddy"- diagnosis like some here, that hasn't hindered me in interacting with others.....certainly one thing we all can relate to is the experience and reality of being
anatomically different from the "normo-sexuals"........don't need a moniker for that.
Dana......hmmm..I like the little twirly thingy that accompanies clicking on Edit...{:>)
