I commend you for giving your opinion on this surgery. There is only one thing I would like to comment on. You talk like everyone in this world should be so excepting of womens genitals looking like penises. Reality is that the world can be a cruel place. Have you ever had a child with gentitals that are malformed?   I had a horrible experience when my own daughter was born. I was sent home with a healthy "boy". A boy in which I bonded with for a week. After that week I was told a well known endocrologist that has never made a mistake in his entire career finally made one, on my daughter. Not only did it almost cost her life, but I fear that mistake may one day leave a  permanent imprint on her life. I felt like I lost a child when they told me that instead I had a girl. I had to mentally seperate myself from that boy. It was almost like having to mourn the loss of a child. I was not sad my daughter was a girl. It was not like that. My mind was saying boy, boy, boy, then I had to put this boy in a dress. You seem to not understand the whole picture when it comes to dealing with taking your infant to a daycare with this enlarged clitoris and having to explain the circumstance to these strangers.Or explaining this to neighbors that just sent you a baseball cap for you newborn that is now a girl. Then in the next breath explain CAH. To me it is if you belittle our feelings of being a parent by saying we should not have a problem with this. I am not saying you are wrong in suggesting holding back getting this surgery. But I am saying there are some exceptions to the rule. I will probably be blasted with more messages because of my own opinion. But there needs to be a voice in here that represents another percentage. In no way do I condem the the women that were mutilizated. That is a nightmare. If surgery can be avoided I believe it should be avoided at all costs. Just know that we do not live in an excepting perfect world. It makes my heart ache to know that. But it is reality.
