intersex research

Intersex research explores variations in biological sex characteristics, such as chromosomes, gonads, or hormones, that don't fit typical definitions of male or female. This field aims to understand the biological diversity of human bodies, improve medical care, and promote acceptance and rights for intersex individuals. Researchers study genetic, hormonal, and developmental factors to better comprehend these variations, addressing health needs, reducing unnecessary surgeries, and challenging societal misconceptions. Overall, intersex research contributes to a more inclusive understanding of human diversity beyond binary notions of sex.
