Controversy on the Caster Semenya case ... Debate will be either philosophical or scientific/medical standards. Debating sex ...
Brings to mind the past and quite possibly, what athletes who have CAH has in the future.

Parenting: When Quantity Trumps Quality
Ayelet Waldman on time with kids:
“Quality time doesn’t work with kids,” she says. “If kids had to decide between spending one hour a day with an attentive, loving mom, and 24 hours with a bitterly suicidal mom, they’ll pick the suicidal wretch every time. They want you 24/7.”
It is much easier to say that it was because of CAH that we quit our jobs to dedicate ourselves to your first 3 years of life. Yet, I think it was divine grace giving us the butt-kick to really pursue what we felt could be the most important task of our lives.
That is to spend as much time with you.
True - that my parenting skills are far from ideal and oftentimes, frustration and impatience turn me into a scary menace. Still, you have shown us how deeply you care for us by turning a blind eye instead and letting it all pass with quick wit and wacky gestures.
Time, indeed is love, actuated.
