Intersex umbrella

The intersex umbrella refers to a diverse group of individuals born with physical sex characteristics—such as chromosomes, gonads, or genitalia—that do not fit typical definitions of male or female. Intersex variations can include differences in hormone levels, reproductive organs, or genetics. It is a natural part of human biological diversity, not a disease or disorder. Recognizing the intersex umbrella promotes understanding and respect for individuals with diverse physical traits, emphasizing that human bodies can vary widely while still being normal. This awareness helps support informed choices and human rights for intersex people.
