I am glad to say that Milton Diamond has clarified the issue of 5 alpha and "Gender identity", there are some points I would still like to raise but I will say that I had drawn a few incorrect conclusions, in the absence of any previous input from him on this specific issue. (For this I apologize) . And he knows I will always correct mistakes when I make them.

On the issue of Mc Ginley: Mickey says:

She (Me) claims I have published that all those with 5 alpha should live as males (or anything). I have never said anything like that and if she knows of such a place she should supply the citation. Imperato-McGinley also has never said that. She did, however, demonstrate that _most_ of those with the condition, although raised as girls, did switch to live as males
(Imperato-McGinley, J., Peterson, R. E., Gautier, T., & Sturla, E. (1979). Male pseudohermaphroditism secondary to 5 alpha-reductase deficiency–a model for the role of androgens in both the development of the male phenotype and the evolution of a male gender identity. Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 11(1B), 637-645.)
