I am keenly aware that such disclosure will present challenges for the patient, but I also know that in the long run such disclosure will enhance, rather than compromise, the quality of the patient's life and intimate relationships. While I realize it may be difficult for you to understand, contrary to being a curse AIS has brought many blessings into my life. These blessings only became possible when I learned the truth and found support. I don't think this is true. Imelda herself, let alone the reader, might have been interested to know how her vaginal hypoplasia would affect her ability to form a pairbond, which is arguably a much more fundamental human need than the bearing of children.
Most patients find out the truth for themselves at some point.
They talk about their osteoporosis that resulted from, in some cases, not having had their HRT properly monitored and they talk about the anger of their XX female relatives at not having been told that they might be carriers of the altered gene. Your article is reminiscent of something from the 1960s. I think you' ll find that things have moved on. Yours sincerely, Margaret Simmonds Pubs. The first is the heading used.
