The Orchis
A blog dedicated to Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome
What does The Orchis mean?
Lessons Learned from Jurassic Park
I am personally very thankful for the lessons I’ve learned from Jurassic park about frogs, to know that terms like Pseudohermaphroditism are just weird and outdated when describing us with androgen insensitivity syndrome. If you hear or read that term, kindly remind that person that we are people, not frogs in Jurassic Park.
Why is this blog called The Orchis?
The root for the flower Orchid comes from the greek Órkhis, which means testis. Why, might you ask, would you name one of the most beautiful and exotic of flowers after testes? Well, the roots of the orchid plant look like a pair of testes!
