Thanks for your post.  My son is only 9 and definitely likes girls and "girl things".  He is very sensitive, into the arts more than sports, and is soooooo doting and motherly.  He will make someone an incredible husband some day, if that is the path he chooses.  He has SWCAH, 21 hydroxylase deficiency, but has always been well-controlled.  I’m assuming you have CAH.  When were you diagnosed?  How old are you?  How do the other guys treat you because you are not seemingly the "Typical" guy?  Has this presented problems for you?  I apologize if I am asking too many questions.  I’m just so curious about your insight on all of this.  My son often feels left out.  The guys are doing things he doesn’t enjoy (ie soccer, basketball, star wars games...), and the girls love him most of the time, but are also caddy, bratty, typical 9 year old girls who can be very clicky, and unkind.   Then his feelings get hurt and he has "no one to play with".  I feel for him and hurt for him.  Any advice?

Thanks
