Intersex is a condition where an individual is born with sexual anatomy of both sexes. For example a female may be born with larger genital the looks like male genital and a male may be born with small genital that looks like female genital. This condition is caused by the irregularities of both sex chromosome and prenatal hormone.

There are many variation associated with intersex for example some women with intersex condition do not have ovaries or they do not have clitoris or labia. Some men with this condition discover they do not have testes and yet some individual have internal and external structure of both male and female.

In some cases intersex anatomy do not show up at birth until an individual reaches puberty and discovered to be infertile and some individual live with this condition without telling anyone.

There are many disorders that are associated with intersex, some are caused by unmatched sex chromosome and some are caused by irregular prenatal hormone production.

Children with intersex should be treated in open, shame-free, supportive environment where an attempt can be made to connect these children with adults who are intersex and with parents who have intersex children so they may provide each other with peer support.

When intersex children grow up the can chose their gender identity depending on what role they are most comfortable with in terms of the behavior and lifestyle that they feel are most consistent with their gender identity.

Once the children are mature enough to make their own decision and comfortable with their gender identity they can decide to have surgery perform so that their physical appearance is congruent with their gender identity. Before the surgery, the intersex children should be introduce to other intersex children who may or may not have the surgery to get more information by discussing with these patients and to get fully informed.
