Intersex

Intersex refers to a variety of conditions where an individual's reproductive or sexual anatomy doesn’t fit typical definitions of male or female. This can involve differences in chromosomes, hormones, or genitals. For example, a person might have both ovarian and testicular tissue or ambiguous genitalia. Intersex individuals may identify as male, female, both, or neither, and they can experience a range of physical traits. It's important to recognize that being intersex is a natural variation in human biology and is distinct from gender identity or sexual orientation. Understanding intersex promotes acceptance and respect for diverse human experiences.
