@drjackyhewitt @WHO Many with CAH don’t like either term but prefer to just state the condition they have - CAH. @drjackyhewitt thank you for pointing out both terms can cause varying emotions. Words matter. We must listen to all stakeholders.

🏳️‍🌈 HISTORIC! 🏳️‍🌈

The #EqualityAct has passed in the House with bipartisan support! We are one HUGE step closer to *full* federal equality for all #LGBTQ Americans! #HR5

[Nancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi]

No American should face discrimination for who they are or who they love. It’s time to make the #EqualityAct the law of the land!

@BastienJanik @IWGregorio @AmerUrological @SPU_Urology @glaad And we should note, we are mostly speaking to classical CAH. Often misinformation and misuse of words correlates all forms of CAH together. There are many forms and all different!

[CAH LGBT @CahLgbt]

@BastienJanik @IWGregorio @AmerUrological @SPU_Urology @glaad Again, for most intersex individuals there is nothing wrong and this should be celebrated. But correlating different conditions leads to misinformation.

@BastienJanik @IWGregorio @AmerUrological @SPU_Urology @glaad “Where are your studies”*

[CAH LGBT @CahLgbt]

@BastienJanik @IWGregorio @AmerUrological @SPU_Urology @glaad And please don’t ask “where our your studies”. The CAH community just had a patient panel and we heard many personal stories about how this misinformation & misguided word use hurts us.

[CAH LGBT @CahLgbt]

@BastienJanik @IWGregorio @AmerUrological @SPU_Urology @glaad We would hope everyone would support personal stories and the voice of people who live w/ challenging conditions.

[CAH LGBT @CahLgbt]

@BastienJanik @IWGregorio @AmerUrological @SPU_Urology @glaad @LurieChildrens @childrenshealth Correlating over 30 different conditions as “the same” down plays the important issues of each condition.
The misguided word use and misinformation regarding CAH has caused immense emotional distress to CAH people; and we already live with enough challenges.

[CAH LGBT @CahLgbt]

@BastienJanik @IWGregorio @AmerUrological @SPU_Urology @glaad @LurieChildrens @childrenshealth In general, when it comes to CAH these statements don't apply and we end up having to re-educate the public. (And when we do, people understand). Example: yes CAH is a medical condition. Without medication we can die. - These facts are important.
