intersex individuals. undefined by standard sex definitions. those examples are intersex humans, not male or female.

Intersex isn’t a sex. It’s a disorder, a deviation from the norm. Intersex people also represent a very small percentage of the population.

nope. there’s increasing evidence that hormonal issues including low testosterone and PCOS (which affect a substantial portion of our population) are intersex conditions.

Disorders of sex development (DSD) don’t equal intersex.

Also PCOS is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. It is a disorder of the ovaries and they are in no way intersexed. While they produce more male hormones, they aren’t males or some third yet to be named sex.
