Well said, Danny!  I am exactly of the same opinion as you.  I have seen articles and TV programs which sensationalise CAH and which always focus on CAH girl sufferers.  They aren’t interested in boys with the condition because it doesn’t make interesting reading.  And of course, we all know what body area magazines/TV articles focus on!  They don’t even bother with mentioning the life-threatening/medication side of things (or if they do, they just have one line about it and the rest of the article would be about the gender issues).  Programs and articles just don’t go into full explanation of the condition.  I have seen documentaries where the program was about intersex conditions such as Kleinfelters and all of a sudden, there’s a CAH girl featured on it!  It makes me so angry when people don’t research properly or miss out on important issues.  I think programs/articles like this do more harm than good.
