      No, she means patient-centered. Honestly, we don’t intervene to make the parents feel better. We really are here to take care of the children and we feel extremely passionate about it

      CARES started a hashtag called #parentalrights. Did you see it? Or this attached flyer, where they make it pretty clear that the parent's right to assign a gender to their CAH kids via surgery is in jeopardy? Who else would it be about, since the kids are obviously not consulted?pic.twitter.com/4pjtUxz9rD

      Sorry but -- surgery does not assign gender. Gender identity comes from the individual. And while doctors have no influence on gender. gender affirming care is known to be vital to mental health as learned from the transgender community.

      So yes, I respect parents who are advocating to preserve choices and options for their children who are intersex just as I respect parents who are advocating to preserve choices and options for their children who are transgender.

      They aren't advocating to preserve choices for their child, they are preserving their own right to make choices FOR their child. Hence the Parent's Rights garbage spewing from CARES. Rosie has her options preserved since she can still choose no surgery. Can they all say that?

      As a parent, you also made a choice for your child -- choosing surgery and choosing no surgery are both choices. I am sure you did it with thought, care, consideration, research and a great deal of love. Other parents are asking for the opportunity to do the same.

      I didn't make a choice, there was no choice to make. Rosie had no medically necessary reason to have a surgery, so we simply didn't have one. That's not a "choice". My non-CAH son Silas also didn't have genital surgery, but I wouldn't call that a choice.

      Sure it’s a choice! Let’s say you were choosing no circumcision for example. That means you’re choosing higher risk of UTI, higher HIV and HPV transmission, higher penile Ca risk. A very reasonable compromise for some families. But still a choice you make on behalf of your child.

      Agree. Lack of intervention is still a choice. It’s for sure the right choice for some but when dealing with nuanced issues ALL choices should be on the table

      The "choice" should belong only to the owner of the genitals, when they're 18 & old enough to consent & understand pros/cons Not your genitals? Not your choice. And here are reasons REAL parents "choose" it:https://twitter.com/GenIntact/status/1107618501806690304 …

      Lots of "nuance" in some of those awful, ignorant replies 🙄 Can someone explain why the bioethical rules that apply w/out question to EVERY other healthy, innervated child body part aren't applied to boys' foreskins? @AAPPres @AmerAcadPeds #tweetiatrician #tweetiatricians #i2

          That assessment is supported by the cardinal principles of medical ethics & statutory definitions of "abused child." What can the pediatricians on this thread offer in defense of the supposed #ethics of non therapeutic infant #circumcision besides their ashamed silence? #i2
