Intersex conditions refer to a variety of medical conditions where an individual's reproductive or sexual anatomy does not fit typical definitions of male or female. This can involve differences in chromosomes, hormones, or genitalia, leading to a spectrum of physical traits that may not align with societal expectations of gender. People with intersex conditions may be born with ambiguous genitalia or may develop secondary sexual characteristics that do not match their assigned sex at birth. Intersex is a natural variation in human biology and is distinct from gender identity, which relates to how individuals perceive themselves, such as transgender or cisgender.
