See?
And the is why I support the D.S.D. treatment model and why I say that I am not Intersexed. I'm sorry Kailana but just because my Endocrine system is messed up and has been since long before birth it does make me intersexed, i'm simply not. And so not only do I understand & share that fathers opinion. I applaud him for being so loving, accepting, & open minded toward his own daughter, she may have a chance at happiness after all. But sadly you both seem very close minded in this post, as have so many in the IS community because of your sudden awareness that not everyone with any of the DSD is IS. Indeed statistically most of us are not IS. As much as IS people need & cry for acceptance I'm constantly surprised how lil understanding & acceptance you all have for girl(in the case of CAH) who, like me, are born with one of the DSD and though we are often incorrectly mutilated we aren't intersexed. Maybe someday this community can accept us as the woman(in the case of CAH) that we are. We get judge & hated like almost everywhere else it just like way sad that we have to be judged here(& in the IS community at large). At least now I have an idea of sites where I am now find support. You are both quite sad.
