Acknowledgments

This handbook is the result of an extraordinary collaboration among clinicians who care for people with disorders of sex development (DSD), parents of children with DSD, adults with DSD, and other patient advocates. We are truly grateful for the assistance and support that has been provided to us in this work, and we hope that readers will use the associated website (http://www.dsdguidelines.org) to give us feedback about it.

We are grateful for the participation of David Cameron, Peter Trinkl, and Esther Morris Leidolf in this project. However, they would like to make it known that they do not support the term “Disorders of Sex Development.”

We would like to thank Yvonne Day (http://www.ydaydesigns.com) for design assistance and Bob Stayton (http://www.sagehill.net) for technology assistance with DocBook.
