DSDs

DSDs, or Disorders of Sex Development, are conditions where a person’s physical sex characteristics—like chromosomes, gonads, or anatomy—don't fit typical definitions of male or female. These variations can involve differences in hormone levels, reproductive organs, or genetic makeup. DSDs are diverse, and while some may be noticeable at birth, others may only become apparent later. They are medical conditions that require understanding and appropriate care, emphasizing that gender identity, sensation, and health can vary widely among individuals with DSDs. The goal is supportive, personalized healthcare respecting each person's identity and well-being.
