Intersex people are people who are born with biological sex characteristics that don't match the conventional dichotomy of men and women. Given society's lack of capacity to handle identities that deviate from the norm, Doctors will often assign a gender to intersex people at birth and engage in genital reconstruction surgeries so the person's body more closely matches their assigned gender without consent. Often times intersex people won't even know they're intersex for years, if ever at all. - Go Back?
