Intersex Studies

Intersex Studies is an academic field that explores the diverse ways human biological sex can vary, including physical, genetic, and hormonal differences that don't fit typical definitions of male or female. It examines the social, cultural, medical, and legal impacts of these variations, challenging assumptions and promoting greater understanding and rights for intersex people. The field aims to foster respect, reduce stigma, and ensure more inclusive policies and practices by studying intersex experiences and advocating for their well-being.
