"They don't mind" = 65% rated the term as neutral to good when discussing the issue with their clinicians. The authors weren't asking about how the terms were used by Joe Schmo, they were asking about it in the context of talking to their doctor, where I would presume standards are probably a little different.

This is reading like you didn't make it past the first two sentences in the abstract when you were grabbing the first result off Google Scholar that looked like it supported your argument.

We are talking about something that doctors call a disorder.

The fact that that's controversial resulted in the paper you cited being written.

What else am I supposed to call it?

There's a third term in the paper that you cited that more people rated positively than "developmental disorder," so maybe that one.

Yet, controversy rages over the term DSD.

Here it is, actual proof you didn't make it to the third sentence of the abstract.

I dunno, let's see what it says in the introduction:

Today, the new nomenclature is widely accepted, although not by all clinicians and researchers (Pasterski, Prentice, & Hughes, 2010a). Some authors argue that the diagnosis CAH should not be included in Disorders of Sex Development, since in most cases gender identity and gender assignment is not proble- matic. Also, males with CAH do not present with developmental problems of the reproductive system (Gonzalez & Ludwikowski, 2016). The ESPE Diagnosis Classification published in 2007 stated that “disorders of gonadal differentiation, that do not result in sex reversal/virilised female infant/undervirilised male such as: Klinefelter syndrome and Turner syndrome” should be excluded from the section sex chromosome DSD (Wit, Ranke, & Kelnar, 2007), contrary to the inclusive approach of the Chicago consensus (Pasterski, Prentice, & Hughes, 2010b).

Thus, it looks like the controversy is among practitioners, while the authors note that no one has really examined what the individuals with the conditions (as you quoted in your other comment) think. Which is what the paper was attempting to answer.

I'm not going line by line over this paper with you, you're going to have to read the rest on your own.
