The term "intersex female" refers to an individual who is born with variations in sex characteristics that do not align strictly with typical definitions of female. Intersex variations may involve differences in chromosomes, hormones, reproductive anatomy, or secondary sexual characteristics that may not fit traditional binary categories of male or female. Intersex females may have a combination of physical traits that are typically associated with both male and female sexes, or they may have variations that make their biological sex more complex. It is important to recognize that intersex variations are naturally occurring and do not determine an individual's gender identity. Intersex females have the right to self-identify and define their own gender in a way that feels authentic and true to their lived experience. Supporting and affirming intersex individuals, including intersex females, involves respecting their autonomy, promoting awareness and education about intersex variations, and advocating for their rights to body autonomy, medical care, and social inclusion.
