Intersex bodies

Intersex bodies refer to individuals whose reproductive or sexual anatomy does not fit typical definitions of male or female. This can involve variations in chromosomes, gonads, hormones, or genitalia that don’t align with typical male or female patterns. Intersex traits are natural variations and can be present at birth or become evident later in life. They are part of human biological diversity, and intersex people may identify in various ways or health considerations. Recognizing intersex bodies helps foster understanding and supports the rights and well-being of these individuals.
