An intersex person was born with some male traits and some female traits. It is a physical condition.

It can happen in a lot of different ways. One example would be a person who had male genitals on the outside and a uterus on the inside. Another example would be someone who had a penis with the pee-hole at the base of the shaft. Some people can go years without knowing that they are intersex.

There’s a lot of different things that can cause it. Sometimes it has to do with XY chromosome stuff, sometimes it doesn’t.

Sometimes intersex babies are given surgeries to make them appear to be strictly male or female. Many (most?) intersex people believe this is wrong.
