     Within classical CAH, commonly two major subtypes are distinguished, the more severe salt-wasting (SW) variant and the simple virilizing (SV) variant, and several studies have shown that bisexuality and homosexuality are increased more in the SW than the SV variant […] or in CAH women with higher Prader stages of genital masculinization at birth, which are also (moderately) correlated with CAH severity (Gastaud et al., 2007); the earlier finding by our team that CAH-SW women with gender dysphoria are gynecophilic fits in with the other data (Meyer-Bahlburg et al., 1996).
