Intersex

The general term is used for a variety of conditions in which a person is born with a reproductive and/or sexual anatomy that does not seem to fit the typical binary definitions of female or male. Intersex conditions are not always discernable at birth, or the awareness of internal anatomy present at birth may not be known to the person until puberty, if it is known at all. A derogatory term previously used for intersex individuals is hermaphrodite.
