Intersex Science

Intersex science studies variations in biological sex characteristics—such as chromosomes, hormones, or reproductive organs—that do not fit typical definitions of male or female. These variations occur naturally and are part of human biological diversity. Researchers examine genetic, hormonal, and anatomical factors to better understand how intersex traits develop and how they impact health and identity. Advances in science promote awareness, support informed healthcare, and challenge misconceptions about sex and gender norms, fostering greater acceptance and inclusion for intersex individuals.
