I think the condition should continue to be called CAH. I think the term intersex should be replaced by explaining that some infants are born with, or some children develop ambiguous genitalia. I think this should come after explaining the inability to produce glucocorticoids, and sometimes mineralcorticoids. This would explain why there are increased androgens which sometimes leads to the ambiguity. I am sure you will hear from others, who believe I am wrong, that I am trying to hide something by not using the word intersexed. I simply believe that it is an incorrect term. That it could cause uneducated (about CAH) friends/family to misunderstand the condition. I would also urge you to encourage parents to educate themselves about the condition. As well as education, they would benefit from support. It would be nice if endo's/clinical nurses could mention this website.Diane
