Is intersex part of “transgender” community?
While some people with intersex conditions also identify as transgender, they as a group have a unique set of needs and priorities besides those shared with trans people. Too often, their unique needs are made invisible or secondary when “intersex” becomes just another subcategory of “transgender.” It is for this reason that we prefer to have “intersex” spelled out explicitly rather than have it “included” in “transgender.” Please see the FAQ section on how to become allies to intersex people.
