invisibility of intersex individuals

Invisibility of intersex individuals refers to the lack of awareness, acknowledgment, and representation of people with naturally varied biological sex characteristics beyond typical male or female categories. This invisibility leads to limited understanding, social marginalization, and often no visible support or visibility in media, healthcare, and policy. As a result, intersex people may face body discrimination, misunderstanding, and exclusion, making it difficult to feel accepted or to have their experiences recognized. Raising awareness helps promote inclusion, respect, and accurate representation of the diverse biological variations that exist in human bodies.
