Does anyone know of a list of pros and cons of both sides of the story? Because as we all know there are always two sides. I think that if there were a list made up without any judgmental, or biased opinions, for newbies to go to for reference. It may give them a better understanding of what they are faced with. It is a hard decision to make, and even harder if someone is pushing their personal opinion at the already frightened individual faced with one of the most difficult decisions they will ever have to make in their life. A decision based on the fact that they love their child more than anything in the world and would like to spare them suffering.
I commend everyone with a virilized child, I know the road will be rocky regardless of either road you take, especially for the child.
Personally I feel that clitoral reduction is not just cosmetic, for myself ....the size of my clitoris affected my identity and how I felt about myself, and I never, ever personally told anyone that. But I was an adult when I chose to do something about it. So that actually excludes me from the decision making for a child. I can however tell you how I felt growing up with an enlarged clitoris, I can also tell you what it feels like after surgery. I did not have vaginal reconstruction, so I'm of no help there.
I have my own idea as to what could go on a list as such. Maybe this board as a whole could take on the task of creating such a list, if Danny approves. What do you all think? Good or bad idea? Here it goes, got my eyes closed as I click submit :o)
