Hi all,

I am in the process of writing a paper with psychologist (Dr Nina Williams, PsyD) for a medical journal. The proposal has already been accepted. The paper is due in August. It is not a scientific paper, but has been accepted as one that is based upon the personal and anectodal research.

The paper is about lesbianism and CAH. And for those that are lesbian, if there has been rejection within the lesbian community because of the genital anomolies.

I would like to hear from women with genital anomolies about their sexual orientation in relation to the above subject.

If you this includes you, do you consider yourself:

1. lesbian

2. heterosexual

3. bisexual

4. questioning

5. other

If there have been homosexual experiences, has there been rejection within the lesbian community as a result of the genital anomolies?

Please help me with this endeavor.

You can write to betsydriver@bodieslikeours.org. Alternatively, if you would rather just write to Nina, I can give you her email address. No personal information is necessary if you are not comfortable sharing that information but personal accounts are most welcome and may be included in the final paper. All replies will be kept in the strictest of confidence and no identifying information will be included in the final paper.

You may also answer the following poll anonymously if you prefer (but your anonymous answers will be posted for all to see without anyone knowing who you are) You do not need to be registered to answer the poll.

Best,

Betsy Driver

I'm thinking about it, and I need a day or two. I promise to give you my best effort within a short time.

Hugs!

Still mulling it over here.

When I first saw this thread as having activity today. I thought someone else named Natasha had just posted. I see now by the date, that it was I myself.

Sorry I did not get around to supplying my input Betsy. Nov 02 was a very bad time for us here, and a short time later we were unhoused and broke.

I suppose it s too late now. I am sorry.

Natasha
