What is intersex?

When a child is born, usually the first question asked is “is it a boy or a girl?” When it comes to intersex individuals, the answer may not be obvious. Intersex is a term that is used for people whose biological sex cannot be clearly categorized as either male or female. Intersex individuals should have full control over any medical procedures they may wish to undergo and should not be subjected to medically unnecessary gender normalizing procedures. It is important that intersex individuals get to determine their own sex and gender, just like everyone else.
