    The fact is its not controversial to call it a disorder and … Just because some people prefer something else doesn’t make what they prefer to be a medical fact or the other option to be offensive.

          I dunno, let’s see what it says in the introduction:

          Today, the new nomenclature is widely accepted, although not by all clinicians and researchers (Pasterski, Prentice, & Hughes, 2010a). Some authors argue that the diagnosis CAH should not be included in Disorders of Sex Development, since in most cases gender identity and gender assignment is not proble- matic. Also, males with CAH do not present with developmental problems of the reproductive system (Gonzalez & Ludwikowski, 2016). The ESPE Diagnosis Classification published in 2007 stated that “disorders of gonadal differentiation, that do not result in sex reversal/virilised female infant/undervirilised male such as: Klinefelter syndrome and Turner syndrome” should be excluded from the section sex chromosome DSD (Wit, Ranke, & Kelnar, 2007), contrary to the inclusive approach of the Chicago consensus (Pasterski, Prentice, & Hughes, 2010b).

          Thus, it looks like the controversy is among practitioners, while the authors note that no one has really examined what the individuals with the conditions (as you quoted in your other comment) think. Which is what the paper was attempting to answer.

          I’m not going line by line over this paper with you, you’re going to have to read the rest on your own.
