I have a question
10/26/01 6:56 PM

I am a woman born with CAH. I do not have, nor have I ever had, ambiguous genitalia. I am not a lesbian. I am not intersexed. So tell me, should I be comfortable with the broad brush stroke being used to describe all woman with CAH?

The link provided on the Nova special describes CAH as an "intersex condition". I can't identify with this. CAH woman = Intersexed?  To read this statement on the web, to think that doctors, those affected and others are referring to CAH as an intersex condition leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The reason? Because I am not intersexed, but I do have CAH.  Yes, some consider themselves intersexed, but, not all.
