intersex
This term describes biological variations in sex characteristics. It is used as a clinical descriptor and a social identity to encompass a wide range of conditions, from chromosomal variations to anatomical differences. In contemporary usage, it is preferred over outdated medical terms that imply a pathology or a "disorder" to be corrected.
When used as a noun, the term refers to an individual. When used as an adjective, it describes the biological state or the specific condition. It is distinct from gender identity or sexual orientation, as it refers specifically to physical biological traits present from birth.
