aimeeNot steemed about anything and was just answering her question (I put a smile face in my post) .
What is normal to one parent or anybody might not be "normal" to another and that is why I wrote depends on one’s perspective. A nurse or Doctor in a gyno office does see all shapes and sizes and would have a different view than someone that doesn’t have anything to draw upon or say a family of girls that were just bigger as a family trait and that would be the norm for them vs someone that has never seen anything like this and/ or has very specific ideas what girls look like and nothing good or bad about that either- it just is. Higher up on the prader scale - we voided out of what we were born with and yes no testes and the virilization was a result of the adrenal gland lacking cortisol but reality before the medical knowledge of the 70’s - say born just five years earlier I might of been raised male without any cortisone and died from say the flu in my 30’s being a simple virilizer and a little hardier than the salt -wasters for the most part.
I do know that little kids don’t have the vocabulary to completely express themselves and yes not assuming but it does make one wonder about the pain being a strong sensation and also I wonder that some parents go for the surgery and others don’t with a theory of mine being that this decision they make for their own child must also be drawn from their own prior experiences and reflection of what bodies should or shouldn’t look like - normal is in the eye of the beholder.
There is no right or wrong here. I was recalling that asa four year old that having my long hair washed or brushed would cause me to burst into tears and state that it hurt .....so who really knows and I’m just one little post on the board that wanted to respond that normal is subjective.
