Journal ArticleDOI
Sexual orientation in women with classical or non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia as a function of degree of prenatal androgen excess
TL;DR: The findings support a sexual-differentiation perspective involving prenatal androgens on the development of sexual orientation and are linked to the first study to relate sexual orientation to the specific molecular genotypes of CAH.
Fetal androgens, human central nervous system differentiation, and behavior sex differences.

TL;DR: The most plausible factors contributing to cross-gender identity development in these patients appeared to be neither a particular genotype or endocrinotype nor a sex-typing bias on the part of the parents but a combination of a gender-atypical behavioral self-image, aGender- atypical body image, and the development of erotic attraction to women.

Prenatal Androgenization Affects Gender-Related Behavior But Not Gender Identity in 5–12-Year-Old Girls with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia

TL;DR: It is concluded that prenatal androgenization of 46,XX fetuses leads to marked masculinization of later gender-related behavior, but the absence of any increased gender-identity confusion/dysphoria does not indicate a direct determination of gender identity by prenatal androgens and does not support a male gender assignment at birth of the most markedly masculinized girls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gender development in women with congenital adrenal hyperplasia as a function of disorder severity.
TL;DR: It is concluded that behavioral masculinization/defeminization is pronounced in SW-CAH women, slight but still clearly demonstrable in SV women, and probable, but still in need of replication in NC women.
