What is an intersexed person?
Intersexuality is a set of medical conditions that features “congenital anomaly of the reproductive and sexual system.” That is, a person with an intersex condition is born with sex chromosomes, external genitalia, or an internal reproductive system that is not considered “standard” for either male or female. Some have surgery in infancy, and their gender is assigned by their parents or doctor. Sometimes the assignment turns out to be “wrong” in that it doesn’t match that individual’s later self-image of their “true” gender.
