Intersex could refer to anyone who doesn’t fit the classic, stereotypical sex combination of “XY-testes-penis” or “XX-ovaries-vulva.” This could be due to an uncommon genetic karyotype (like XO, XXXY, or mosaicism, etc.), or hormones (androgen insensitivity, 5a-reductase deficiency congenital adrenal hyperplasia, etc.) or anatomical variation (such as a penis and ovaries, testes and a vulva, ambiguous genitalia, XX-testes-penis, or XY-ovaries-vulva). It’s a broad spectrum that includes many different kinds of intersex people.
