Intersex is an umbrella term that includes more than thirty ways the human body is born differently according to its sex characteristics (e.g. hormones, chromosomes, genitalia, and/or sex organs). Some intersex people prefer describing themselves as having a Variation of Sex Characteristics (VSC) or atypical sex characteristics while in medical settings the term Differences of Sex Development is often used.
