just responding to apple on the point of the childs level of love and acceptance for the mother:
this love level will depend on her honesty with her child
and not because someone says it WILL BE THAT WAY
no-one knows how any one will feel
but rest assured
with so much in-built hatred from intersex people in general---we are on a sad and lonely road if we continue to treat strangers like they are stupid!
plus
i believe that the best way forward is through encouragement -not blame
so i would hope that what we write here for any mom or pa is something of reality and hope
the reality being that its a catch 22
there are only two accepted sexes in the world still(even though intersexed people are a huge part of everyday society for the last 50 years or more)
so no matter what you do-you must stand by your child-no matter what!
because if anyone wants a child you cannot choose what it will turn out like(oh yeah sorry...i forgot about certain technologies like abortion)
the hope is
that moms and dads can look through the smoke screen that doctors put in front of them
and the hope is hoping that people continue to care for eachother by writing what they know
and hoping that everyone has an interest in intersex issues by the end of 2010
