| - Definition The word Intersex has three common definitions: 1. The medical condition of being born with a body conforming neither to male nor female norms. 2. The medical condition of having both testicular and ovarian tissue present, so sex is indeterminate. 3. The medical condition of having a Disorder of Sexual Development. The term Intersex may be applied to any animal, or humans. Prevalence in Humans By definition (1), the prevalence is 1.7% By definition (2), the prevalence is 0.018% By definition (3), the prevalence is 1%
- Being intersex is often treated as a medical disorder which should be corrected with treatments such as hormone therapy or surgery to "normalise" sex characteristics. If an intersex condition is discovered at birth or during childhood then medical procedures may be performed without the child or parent giving consent or even being aware, and many intersex people are not notified of their condition even as adults. Because of this culture, the intersex community often denotes assigned sex using the terms CAFAB and CAMAB, standing for Coercively Assigned Female/Male At Birth.
- An intersex person is has sex characteristics e.g.sexual anatomy, reproductive organs, and/or chromosome patterns that do not fit the typical definition of male or female. This may be apparent at birth or become so later in life e.g. puberty. Intersex people, just like dyadic people, may identify with any sexual orientation or gender identity.
