Définition
- The term intersexuality refers to a series of conditions in which sexual characteristics (genital, chromosomal, genetic) can be defined as ambiguous. Individuals with such characteristics do not conform to cultural standards relating to the typical definition of “male” and “female.” Recent scientific literature claims that about 2 in 1,000 children are born with anatomical characteristics that are considered “ambiguous;” that is, they have genitals that are difficult to define because of variations in their chromosomes or hormones.
