Intersex UK

Intersex UK refers to a range of natural variations in sex characteristics—such as chromosomes, gonads, or genitalia—that do not fit typical definitions of male or female. These differences are present from birth and can involve hormonal, anatomical, or genetic variations. Intersex conditions are diverse and often identified during medical examination, but many individuals live without knowing. Recognizing intersex variations helps promote understanding, acceptance, and appropriate healthcare, emphasizing that biological sex exists on a spectrum rather than a strict binary.
