intersex variations

Intersex variations refer to natural differences in physical sex characteristics that do not fit typical definitions of male or female. These variations can involve chromosomes, hormones, and reproductive or sexual anatomy, resulting in diverse combinations. Intersex individuals may be born with ambiguous genitalia or have internal reproductive organs that differ from their external appearance. Intersex is a biological aspect of human diversity, and it is separate from gender identity or sexual orientation. Acceptance and understanding of intersex individuals encourage respect for their rights and identities within society.
