Yet people react as if it were the height of wrongoussness to do the only right thing.<br /><br />What feared or imagined consequences are so terrible that to avoid them people are happy for childrens lives and bodies to be so disaterously and unneccessarily interfered with?

In 99+% of cases it won't make any difference but in the rare case it might save a huge heartache.HHBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02877601997606224982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-46134587845987469912010-06-22T03:46:41.753+10:002010-06-22T03:46:41.753+10:00Dear Ms. Brain, Thanks for this link.

I think it is good that Dr. Reiner is using the word intersex instead of DSD (although there is still alot of pathological terminology in the article). Clearly many of the individuals he is discussing have XY cloacal extrophy and not an intersex condition that directly involves <br />altered endocrinology as its generative mechanism. It would be nice if the article also discussed the fact that there are plenty of XY individuals who have a female gender identity. Some people may <br />think (based on this article) that gender identity follows in accord with X and/or Y chromosomes. Of course as an intersexed woman yourself, you know that it often doesn't and that many other XY intersexed women like yourselves have a female gender identity. <br /><br />M Italiano, MB BS (AM)<br />staff OII & GendercareM Italianonoreply@blogger.com
