What is intersexuality?

Interexuality is a condition in which someone has sexual qualities associated with both sexes. Sometimes intersexuality is manifested in a very obvious form, as in the classic case of someone who was born with both male and female genitals. Other times, intersexuality is much softer and sometimes the state is not even after death, even after death, when an autopsy reveals unexpected findings. Estimates of the number of inter -x individuals in the population differ, but usually are around one percent. Depending on the type of interruption, someone can obviously intersex at birth, or later in life can appear signs of intersexuality such as puberty or middle age. In some cases, intersexuality is discovered when the doctor tries to get to the bottom of the health problem and it can be a big surprise.

There is a lot of adoption about the appropriate shield for the intersex individuals. During the 20th century, the term "hermaphrodite" was used, but most people have been frowning on this word today, because it is inaccurate and because it has offendedof all the properties. Some people prefer to say "gender development disorders" instead of intersexuality, while others prefer "changes in gender development" to emphasize the idea that intersexuality is not necessarily a disorder.

Some human sexuality activists believe that intersexuality suggests that gender can run along the continuum rather than to be limited to male and female identities. Some intermediate individuals also support this view and decide to refrain from surgery, hormones and other correctional treatments because they see nothing that should not be repaired. Interexuality is sometimes also used as an explanation for an exploration range of gender identities in the human race.

Whether or not to consider intersexuality a problem to be corrected or a natural genetic variation can be some interesting challenges for parents. When children are born with apparent intersexCharacteristics, parents usually require to choose a sex for a child so that the child can be distributed to surgery. Activists, however, suggested that it could be better to raise the child as it is and allow him to later behave in life surgery and other treatments. Although this possibility may seem better in the eyes of activists, it may indicate a heavy burden on parents, because human society is not a gender -neutral and apparent intersex child could face impressive social problems.
