I am not very familiar with Intersex, so if you're part of it or you know more information than I do about the subject, then I'll be quite happy to hear what I forgot to mention. Thank you :)

Intersex is a group of many conditions that cause to be born in the middle of the spectrum from male to female. development is controlled by male and female hormones androgens (testosterone) and estrogens in the womb. If there is a mix of the two it causes an intersex condition. hormones cause the development of the genitals, the brains functioning, and the brains "gender identity" behaviour. It also causes secondary characteristics during puberty. Intersex usually only refers to genital, puberty, sex chromosome differences. The chosen gender may also not match the "gender identity" that developed in the womb. Intersex is different from Transexuality. It involves a mismatch between the gender that you feel like and your physical gender for any reason.
