The article reads to me as if it was written by a pr-agency, for example
Without prenatal therapy, masculinization of external genitalia in females is potentially devastating. It carries the risk of wrong sex assignment at birth, difficult reconstructive surgery, and subsequent long-term effects on quality of life. Gender-related behaviors, namely childhood play, peer association, career and leisure time preferences in adolescence and adulthood, maternalism, aggression, and sexual orientation become musculinized in 46,XX girls and women with 21OHD deficiency. [...] We anticipate that prenatal dexamethasone therapy will reduce the well-documented behavioral masculinization and difficulties related to reconstructive surgeries.
I agree. I've documented a number of instances of editorializing (and removed one instance in the lead). With Alice Dreger's new book out, Galileo's Middle Finger, you can imagine that this page will receive much more scrutiny, and it doesn't look good for Wikipedia that it (1) not only fails to reflect the controversy associated with the concerns raised about New's work (from Dan Savage's popular concerns, the NIH vs Cornell lawsuit, and the Time story on 'A Prenatal Treatment Raises Questions of Medical Ethics') but that it (2) has so many flattery words. -Reagle (talk) 11:39, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
The book of Dreger is indeed interesting and she spends 3 chapters on the prenatal dexamethasone subject. So I concur with (1) in the above that it doesn't look good, if Wikipedia does not refer to that. (Although the Times article is quoted and referred in the first paragraph, strangely enough).
