Intersex people are born with sex characteristics (such as genitals, gonads, and chromosome patterns) that do not fit the typical definitions for male or female bodies
[1][2] they are substantially more likely to identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer (lgbtq) than endosex people
According to a study done in australia of australian citizens with intersex conditions. Interact’s intersex inclusive language guide provides helpful guidelines on how to speak with and about intersex people in a respectful manner The truth is that the vast majority of people with intersex conditions identify as male or female rather than transgender or transsexual Thus, where all people who identify as transgender or transsexual experience problems with their gender identity, only a small portion of intersex people experience these problems.
Intersex people are generally assigned male or female despite their anatomical atypicality, but may later identify differently and correspondingly identify as transgender A person cannot transition to “become” intersex because having an intersex condition is defined as a variation in reproductive anatomy present at birth.
