intersex disclosure

Intersex disclosure refers to the act of informing others about an individual's intersex traits—variations in sex characteristics that don't fit typical definitions of male or female. This disclosure can occur in medical settings, personal relationships, or social contexts, often to advocate for understanding, privacy, or support. It involves sharing sensitive biological information that may affect health or identity and should be approached with respect, consent, and awareness of privacy. The goal is to promote transparency and understanding while respecting the individual's comfort and autonomy in choosing when and with whom to share this information.
