Thanks Debbi!
I believe the only reason they even mentioned CAH was because of the ambiguous genitalia at birth. They did interview one couple who was going through with the surgery for their daughter.
It really wasn't the program that upset me...just that in that short section on CAH there were several things I had never heard of. It just made me wonder what else I didn't know, ya' know?
Anyway, thanks for your response. I do appreciate it!

Just getting back into town and getting caught up on my mail. I saw this program in the spring and found it to be very one-sided. It was clear that they were steering toward the more sensationalized version of the facts. Did you hear any mention of boys with CAH or the salt-wasting factor or the health risks? Only the sexuality. There is a network of people in the show that I have seen on other programs that have made it there mission to inform about Intersexed conditions. I feel that they are misinformed my putting CAH in there group, since gender assignment is not an issue. Girls are girls and boys are boys. At the CAH board, there was a mom who's doctor told her that her son was increased likelihood of being gay as well. I frankly don't buy it. But that is just me. Anyway, I would not get too worked up about that program.-Debbi
