Answer to Question 1

In 2010, a controversy began over the use of prenatal steroids to decrease the risk for CAH in female fetuses. Although the use of such hormones was thought to decrease the development of masculinized external genitalia in female fetuses and increase stereotypically feminine behaviors, these drugs also were found to potentially decrease the chances that the fetuses would be lesbian.

Answer to Question 2

The two most common hormonal disorders of sex development are congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and androgen-insensitivity syndrome (AIS).
