Hi Anon-
It's all wronge and immoral what is done.
To quote you from your post here " With regards to any type of stimulation to check feeling, I just wondered if there was something that could indicate feeling while she was under anaesthesia, NOT while she was awake!"
The above is goulish...unethical and if you don't get that then you don't but that is just one person's opinion and I realize that we are just something to dominate shape push in to something else.
Also, I realize that you don't have a clue as to how any of this feels awake or not and being knocked out is creepy and duping.
Nothing is written in stone with any medical condition.
Some will indure thing and others don't have to as this would be determined by the tastes of the individual surgeon.
You need to follow what the good medical profession says and each case is different.
Are we probed more than the average person during the years when it is most violating - yes we are. John Money experimented on us to.
Is it all necessary ...nope and is some of it for the man's curiosity ..yep it is.
LOOK YOU SEEM TO BE A VERY NICE LADY but just do what the doctors says OK.
Whats done is done- if you child was subjected to surgery then there is no going back. i think it is interesting that you want to be assured but I read that blah, blah surgery is so much better and they leave the nerves alone. Didn't your surgeon discuss the nerves? Why the worry? the people that count within the CAH community go on how good everything is.
You did ask for opinions on an open internet site and that is what I gave you about my own experince. Did this checking help me? nope it didn't and was unnessary but the surgeon got to check out his man made canal and i wanted to commint suicide. I've also been put under and the expressions of the medical staff wasn't lost on me.
So much pressure put on us to fit that female form.
Be good and follow what the doctors says.
it will be fine.
