OK someone shoot me if I get TOO graphic as I have a tendency to say what I think. First of all Aimee I think probably you are the most honest and sincere of most posters and your dealing with surgery and CAH. I appreciate your being candid and can only hope and pray that my granddaughter is as broad minded with her surgery/cah and sexual being. Not to say I was a ho bag or anything but I was a product of the 70's disco/ free sex /rock & roll and drug era. I was single and I lived and played HARD. I had my fair share of men and I agree they are all not as straight laced as we would like to believe.........most were married that hit on me but I couldn't respond because I KNEW they were losers to be that way ! But the ones that I was with never expected more than I could give and my back booty is my back booty and it is just an exit! (if you get my drift) lol The discussion on how a man perceives your body image is immaterial as I would think it is different strokes for different folks. But AGAIN the argument Betsy makes for waiting on surgery obviously fits her agenda better than it does ours. Parents who give birth to these children with genital birth defects ( and this is what they are) have the right to choose the best of two evils. Do we want our childs genitals to be altered NO HELL NO .... But do we want them subjected to ridicule all there LIFE..... NO HELL NO. Mitzi has a dance recital in the morning and her dancing tights and tutu are pressed and ready to go. Being a prader five I would think would be obvious. If she had not had surgery would I be embarrassed NO HELL NO (she can have six eyes and I will think all six are beautiful because they are HERS) But society as a whole would gawk and point and ostersize her from functions and groups because she is different. I KNOW this to be true I had a big circle strawberry birthmark on my forehead and was teased all through school and this was on my FOREHEAD! Contrary to what people think the GQ public is rude /crude and most times socially unforgiving and if we can protect our child from ridicule this is what we will do. UNTIL Betsy crosses the path of Motherhood will she know the true meaning of giving of yourself and putting others before your own agenda. I do think she is a bright woman and does a great job of pushing her believes and agenda. DO I wish she was fighting for our side YES HELL YES! I just believe she has blinders on when it comes to some things. I honest to GOD do not believe there is a right and wrong to this subject matter I just believe that we need to agree to disagree on some of the issues and throw our energies into making CAH a separate disorder from intersex conditions and gender biased arguments. I must ask Betsy how many times do we pop up on her board to argue a point and make hers seem off track. From what I have noticed she only comes on the board to keep her name and BLO in the open forum and she does not care that it hurts parents ,children and others that do not believe in her views. Everytime an issue relating to surgery comes forward so does Betsy. WHY ? She has a need for us to hear her cause and attempt to convince us she is right and we are wrong. The more we argue with her and disagree the more she enjoys it. I do not relish someone getting enjoyment from someone elses pain and sorrow. CAH OR NOT. Aimee I do not understand why you do not get upset knowing that she is digging you in her comments about intersex /lesbian ect. Maybe you converse and have it cleared who knows and if so that makes me feel better. But then again it is not about HOW I FEEL. Everything I do is for the love of my children/grandchildren as I have sewn my oats. I just want my Granddaughter to have the same privelages I did in my hay day and not to be judged by an adrenal disorder that she did not ask for and will be at the center of her core as long as she breathes. People can make it as simple or as complex as they choose too. My Daughter is my Daughter and I don't care if she has a horse d--k hanging between her legs this does not make her intersexed /lesbian or a horse or anything other than my daughter with a horse d--k . (Which of course I would have surgically removed) Geeeeez......... WHERE DOES THIS END?
