Reply To: First time finding out I am intersexed

[DeeAnn Hopings]

Being intersex is an interesting situation in that the condition may be visible or it may not be. Visibly, differences in genitalia may be obvious but the condition may also exist only at the chromosomal level. There is also the issue of how gender identity comes into play. Fortunately we seem to be slowly moving away from the time when doctors and parents felt that they needed to intervene very early in the life of a child.
