5-alpha reductase deficiency
alternative label: 5-ARD
comment: People with 5-alpha reductase deficiency, abbreviated as 5-ARD, have XY chromosomes, testes, and typical levels of testosterone, but their bodies do not have the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to the more powerful androgen dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This affects how an individual's external sex characteristics develop, and people born with 5-ARD often have genital differences that are noticed at birth. In adolescence, people with 5-ARD typically develop some features associated with testosterone puberty, and they may experience genital growth at this point.

Like other variations in sex characteristics, AIS is a spectrum, with the subcategories of complete (CAIS), partial (PAIS), and mild androgen insensitivity (MAIS). The term "male androgen insensitivity syndrome" should not be used to describe this variation because many people with AIS are women.

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
alternative label: CAH
comment: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of different but related genetic variations that affect the enzymes that allow the adrenal glands to make hormones that regulate the body’s functions. People with CAH do not consistently produce the amount of cortisol or aldosterone they need, but they may naturally produce higher-than-typical levels of androgens such as testosterone to help the body compensate. Someone with CAH can be born with XX or XY chromosomes. People with CAH and XY chromosomes are usually not considered to have a variation in sex characteristics since an increased amount of androgens will not cause the development of any characteristics that are not considered typical for people assigned male at birth. In people with XX chromosomes and CAH, the increase in androgen production can result in genital differences such as a larger-than-typical clitoris, fused labia, and the fusion of the urethra and vaginal canal to form a single opening. They may also develop some characteristics like body and facial hair or increased muscle mass during childhood or puberty.

Gender
comment: A socially constructed system that gives meaning to masculinity and femininity and that unevenly distributes power and opportunity according to cultural interpretations of sex. As an element of personal identity, a gender is developed through the interaction of social roles and expectations, one’s response to those expectations, one’s physiology, and one’s internal sense of self. Gender is culturally specific, meaning that different cultures have different understandings of what gender means and how many genders should be recognized.

Klinefelter syndrome

comment: People with Klinefelter syndrome develop with an extra copy of the X chromosome, resulting in a 47XXY pattern (instead of the typical 46XY). These individuals might have smaller-than-typical testes that produce lower amounts of testosterone and/or sperm, and they may start puberty later than typical (or may not go through puberty without hormone therapy). They may grow taller than usual, may develop breast tissue, and often experience infertility. This variation often does not cause obvious physical differences, and many people do not realize they have it.

Mosaicism involving "sex" chromosomes
comment: People with mosaic chromosomes have different chromosome patterns in some cells of their body than in others. Mosaicism results from random differences in how cells divide while an embryo is growing, resulting in different numbers of chromosomes in different cells (such as 45X/46XX or 45X/46XY, which are both variants of Turner syndrome, or 46XY/47XXY or 46XX/47XXY, which are both variants of Klinefelter syndrome). If someone specifically has 46XX chromosomes in some cells and 46XY in others, their variation is probably chimerism instead of mosaicism. Having mosaic chromosomes can cause someone to develop variations in their genitals, gonads, or hormone function. For example, if they have at least one Y chromosome, they may have both ovarian and testicular tissue, or genital differences like hypospadias, or they may develop some secondary sex characteristics at puberty that are not expected for the sex they were assigned. People who have mosaicism without a Y chromosome (e.g., 45X/46XX, or 46XX/47XXX) may have streak gonads or ovaries that stop functioning at an earlier age than typical, which can affect development during puberty and fertility. Other people may not have any noticeable signs of their mosaicism at all.

Ovo-testes
alternative label: True hermaphroditism
alternative label: "Ovotesticular DSD "
comment: People with this variation are born with both ovarian and testicular tissue. A person can develop one testis and one ovary, or they may develop one or more ovo-testes, which means that a single gonad is made up of both ovarian and testicular cells. The levels of hormones they produce can vary and how their genitals and secondary sex characteristics develop will depend partially on the levels of estrogen and testosterone that their bodies make. In adolescence, people with ovo-testes may develop features associated with either a typical estrogen puberty or a typical testosterone puberty, or they may develop some of each. Sometimes a person with an ovary and a testis or with ovo-testes can produce viable sperm and viable eggs.

Partial androgen insensitivity syndrome
alternative label: PAIS
comment: People with partial androgen insensitivity (PAIS) have some response to testosterone, but not as much as is typical for people with XY chromosomes without androgen insensitivity. People with PAIS may be born with testes that are undescended or partially descended and with genital differences such as a vaginal opening that is shallower than typical, a phallus that may be perceived as a large clitoris or a small penis, and variations affecting their urethra. They might also be born with genitals that look more like a penis or like a vulva and vagina. In adolescence, people with PAIS may develop some features that are associated with a typical testosterone puberty and others that are associated with a typical estrogen puberty since their body responds to some of the testosterone that their gonads produce while the rest is converted into estrogen.

Progestin induced virilization
comment: People born with progestin-induced virilization have XX chromosomes and may have visible genital variations at birth such as a larger-than-typical clitoris, sometimes also with fused or partially fused labia. They usually have a typical uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes, though their vagina may or may not have differences. This variation develops in utero as a result of the individual's parent taking progestin medication while pregnant. Being exposed to these additional hormones before birth can change how someone’s genitals develop, but it generally will not change how their own body will produce or respond to hormones later on. This means that someone born with progestin-induced virilization will usually develop features associated with a typical estrogen puberty.

The six-color version of the flag has been the most popular design since then.

Swyer syndrome
alternative label: XY Gonadal dysgenesis
comment: Swyer syndrome occurs when a person is born with XY chromosomes, but their gonads have not developed into testes. It is a form of gonadal dysgenesis, meaning that a person with this variation will have streak gonads that do not produce hormones. Since they do not produce testosterone, their body does not develop a penis and usually develops a vulva and vagina instead. Since they do not produce another hormone known as anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), people with Swyer syndrome often develop a uterus and fallopian tubes as well. They will not usually start puberty or begin menstruating, but some people with Swyer syndrome do menstruate (without ovulating) if they receive estrogen therapy.

Slurs
comment: Insulting or discriminating remarks, innuendos, or names intended to demoralize a person, typically by disparaging that person's identity or social group. Generally, for a term to be considered a slur, it must be derogatory towards a particular person or group, it must be used to subordinate them within some structure of power relations, and the derogated person or group must be defined by an intrinsic property such as their race, sexual orientation, gender identity, etc. This category includes terms considered slurs at any point in their usage. Therefore, some of these terms may no longer be considered universally derogatory, may be in common usage, or may be selectively reclaimed by certain groups.

Hermaphrodites
comment: A term originating from Greek mythology that refers to beings that are both fully female and fully male. The term was once adopted in the medical realm to describe people with intersex variations generally (and later to describe someone with both ovarian and testicular tissue specifically), but it is now recognized to be stigmatizing, imprecise, and misleading. Many people in the intersex community consider the use of this term to be pathologizing and deeply offensive, while other intersex people have chosen to reclaim the term to describe themselves and their bodies. Do not use this term to describe an individual unless they explicitly identify with it and have chosen to use it.

Police abolitionist movement
alternative label: Abolishing the police movement
comment: A primarily U.S. American and Canadian political movement that advocates replacing policing with other systems of public safety. Police abolitionists believe that policing, as a system, is inherently flawed and cannot be reformed—a view that rejects the ideology of police reformists. While reformists seek to address the ways in which policing occurs, abolitionists seek to transform policing altogether through a process of disbanding, disempowering, and disarming the police. Abolitionists argue that the institution of policing is deeply rooted in a history of white supremacy and settler colonialism and that it is inseparable from a pre-existing racial capitalist order, and thus believe a reformist approach to policing will always fail.

Gender dysphoria in children
comment: A psychological diagnosis (replacing the outdated and offensive "gender identity disorder") used to describe the sense of unease or dissatisfaction an individual feels as a result of incongruence between their gender identity and their assigned gender, gender expression, and/or the way their gender is perceived by others. This term is also used colloquially by individuals to describe the discomfort and distress they experience as a result of this incongruence. Though gender dysphoria is often associated with trans people, people of any identity may experience gender dysphoria when they do not feel "right" in their body or the way their gender is being expressed.

17-beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 3 deficiency
alternative label: 17-beta
comment: People with 17-beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 3 deficiency, abbreviated as "17-beta," have XY chromosomes and testes, but their bodies do not have one of the enzymes needed to synthesize testosterone. Most people with 17-beta are born with a vulva and vagina, and their testes are most often undescended. Some people with 17-beta will be born with genitals that do not clearly resemble a typical penis or a typical vulva. Some will have a penis that may be smaller than typical (known as a micropenis), and the urethra may open on the underside of the penis rather than at the tip (known as hypospadias). In adolescence, people with 17-beta will often develop some secondary sex characteristics associated with a typical testosterone puberty.

Ambiguous genitalia
comment: A term used to describe a birth variation in which the outer genitals do not have the typical appearance of those associated with either boys or girls. This is often the first sign many doctors and parents see that indicate their child has an intersex variation. Ambiguous genitalia can be caused by a variety of variations and rarely require immediate surgical intervention as long as the child is able to excrete and urinate without complications. Many intersex people find this term stigmatizing, so it should not be used unless the individual uses it to describe themselves.

Anorchia
comment: A person with anorchia has 46 XY chromosomes and is born without testes. As a result, they do not produce typical levels of testosterone.

Aromatase deficiency
comment: People with aromatase deficiency do not have the enzyme responsible for converting androgens into estrogen. At birth, someone with aromatase deficiency and XX chromosomes may have a larger-than-typical clitoris and partially or completely fused labia (resembling the appearance of a scrotum). At puberty, they may not develop breasts, may not begin menstruating, and may develop some secondary sex characteristics associated with a typical testosterone puberty. They may also develop multiple cysts on their ovaries. People with XY chromosomes can also have aromatase deficiency, but they do not typically experience variations in their sex characteristics, though they may grow taller than is typical because estrogen is usually responsible for closing the bone growth plates.

Aromatase excess syndrome
alternative label: Familial gynecomastia
alternative label: Hyperestrogenism
comment: People with aromatase excess have increased production of aromatase, which converts androgens (like testosterone) into estrogen. People with XY chromosomes and aromatase excess syndrome will therefore have more active estrogen in their bodies than is typical. As a result, they will often stop growing at a shorter height and/or develop breasts in adolescence along with features associated with a typical testosterone puberty. People with XX chromosomes can also have aromatase excess, but it doesn't usually cause their sex characteristics to vary from what is considered typical for those assigned female at birth, though they may also experience breast enlargement and short stature, along with menstrual irregularities.

Bladder exstrophy
comment: People with bladder exstrophy are born with their urinary bladder exposed (through an open abdominal wall) or outside of the body. They may also have an open pelvis (resulting from the pubic bones not joining together), which causes genital differences. People with bladder exstrophy and XY chromosomes often have a shorter-than-typical penis with epispadias (meaning the urethra opens on the top surface of the penis instead of at the tip) and undescended testes. People with XX chromosomes and bladder exstrophy often have a urethra that is placed higher than usual, widely spaced labia (due to the wide spacing of their pubic bones), and a clitoris formed in two halves with a split in the middle.

Chimerism
comment: Term used to describe the variation in which a person is born with two or more different sets of DNA. This can occur when multiple zygotes (such as fraternal twins) combine and develop into one fetus. Sex-chromosome discordant chimerism occurs when at least one embryo with XX chromosomes fuses with at least one embryo with XY chromosomes. A person who develops this way would have sets of both XX and XY chromosomes, or a chromosome pattern of 46XX/46XY, and could have a wide variety of different possible sex characteristics. Many people with chimerism and XX/XY chromosomes have both ovarian and testicular tissue, while others have only testes or only ovaries, and still others have gonadal dysgenesis. Some have noticeable genital differences and others do not.

Cloacal exstrophy
comment: People born with cloacal exstrophy are born with an open abdominal wall exposing their colon, bladder, and sometimes other abdominal organs. Their organs may also be positioned outside of the body at birth. The bladder is often split into two halves, and the colon and bladder may be connected. The anal opening may be blocked or not have been formed. The pubic bones do not join together, resulting in an open pelvis with noticeable genital differences. People with XY chromosomes and cloacal exstrophy may have a smaller-than-typical penis that is flat or split into two halves with an epispadic urethra (opening on the top of the penis rather than at the tip) and undescended testes. Someone with XX chromosomes and cloacal exstrophy usually has a clitoris that is split into two halves, and they may have two vaginal openings.

In adolescence, they will develop breasts and other features associated with a typical estrogen puberty due to the body’s natural conversion of testosterone to estrogen. However, people with CAIS do not menstruate because they do not have a uterus or ovaries.

De la Chapelle syndrome
alternative label: XX male syndrome
comment: De la Chapelle syndrome causes people with XX chromosomes to be born with a penis and testes. This usually happens because a particular gene typically seen on Y chromosomes (known as the SRY gene) ends up on one of their X chromosomes and causes their genitals and internal reproductive organs to develop as they typically would in someone with XY chromosomes. People with de la Chapelle might have testes that are smaller than typical or that are undescended, and they are often infertile. In adolescence, they may experience breast growth, and they might not develop the characteristics that are usually associated with a typical testosterone puberty.

comment: Patient care model developed by John Money, a New Zealand psychologist who theorized that gender was completely dependent on "nurture." This model advocates for performing genital surgery on intersex infants and raising them as girls. Money's theories have resulted in many surgically misgendered children who have had to deal with life-long gender dysphoria, depression, sexual dysfunction, bowel and urinary incontinence, and nerve pain. A patient-centered model, in which the intersex child is allowed to grow up and make their own choices regarding their gender and surgical option, is now preferred.

comment: People with estrogen insensitivity syndrome (EIS) have a genetic variation in which their bodies do not respond to estrogen. People with XX chromosomes and EIS are usually born with a vulva and vagina, may have a small uterus and enlarged ovaries that later develop multiple cysts, and may produce very high levels of estrogen that their bodies do not recognize. In adolescence, they will most likely not experience the changes associated with a typical estrogen puberty such as breast development or menstruation. They may instead develop pubic hair and acne due to the influence of androgens. People with XY chromosomes can also be born with EIS, and they may or may not experience variations in their other hormone production, testicular development, and development of secondary sex characteristics as a result.

Their ovaries may produce lower amounts of estrogen than is considered typical, and they may not produce fertile follicles (eggs). In adolescence, they may not develop secondary sex characteristics associated with a typical estrogen puberty and may not menstruate. People with XY chromosomes and FSH insensitivity may develop smaller-than-typical testes, may produce fewer sperm than usual, and may not be fertile.

Hopkins model
alternative label: Concealment centered model
comment: A patient care model that gained popular usage in the 1950s. In this model, parents are used to quickly decide on a gender assignment for their intersex baby, under the assumption that the child would identify with whichever gender their parents raised them as. If a child later deviated from the assigned gender, parents were encouraged to verbally and physically "correct" the child and enforce gender norms. In practice, this resulted in life-altering, unnecessary genital surgeries, irreversible hormone treatments, and dishonesty on the parent's part. A patient-centered model, in which the intersex child is allowed to grow up and make their own choices regarding their gender and surgical option, is now preferred.

Hyperandrogenism
comment: People with hyperandrogenism have higher-than-typical levels of testosterone and/or other androgens. In people with XX chromosomes, hyperandrogenism can result in the development of secondary sex characteristics that are associated with the influence of testosterone (such as facial and body hair) to varying degrees. Hyperandrogenism may or may not be the result of an underlying intersex variation, but it is common in several variations (including CAH and PCOS). People with hyperandrogenism who aren’t intersex will nonetheless often have many experiences in common with intersex people, such as encountering exclusion and discrimination in sex-segregated contexts like sports.

comment: People with hypogonadism produce lower-than-typical levels of hormones like testosterone and estrogen, or none at all. This can affect how a person’s secondary sex characteristics develop as well as their fertility. Hypogonadism can be a result of a difference in how someone’s brain signals for their gonads to produce (or not produce) hormones, or it can be a feature of their gonads directly. Hypogonadism is not always caused by an intersex variation, but can be related to Klinefelter syndrome, Turner syndrome, and several other variations.

Because their bodies convert a small amount of their naturally produced androgens into estrogen, they may have visible variations in features, such as the amount of facial hair, body hair, or muscle tone they develop. They may also experience some breast development during puberty.

Polycystic ovary syndrome
alternative label: PCOD
alternative label: PCOS
alternative label: Polycystic ovarian disease
alternative label: Polycystic ovarian syndrome
comment: People with this variation have XX chromosomes and are generally born with a vulva and vagina, a uterus, and ovaries. Later in life, their ovaries often produce higher-than-typical levels of androgens like testosterone. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can also result in the development of characteristics such as facial and body hair, and it can interfere with the process of ovulation. This in turn can cause irregular periods or no periods, and people with PCOS may struggle to become pregnant. Some people with PCOS have small cysts (fluid-filled sacs) on their ovaries, but some do not. Signs of PCOS generally will not show up until a person starts menstruating, or later in life.

Pseudohermaphroditism
alternative label: Female pseudohermaphroditism
alternative label: Male pseudohermaphroditism
comment: A term previously used in medical contexts to refer to different groups of intersex variations, usually divided into categories of “male pseudohermaphroditism” and “female pseudohermaphroditism” on the basis of the person’s chromosomes. People may still find these terms used in their medical records or in medical journal articles when researching their variation, but they are often considered highly stigmatizing in addition to being vague and inaccurate. Do not use this term to describe a person's variation unless they do so themselves.

Salt-wasting congenital adrenal hyperplasia
comment: People who have salt-wasting congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), a subtype of classical CAH, experience "salt-wasting," a dangerous scenario a person's low levels of aldosterone cause their body to lose too much sodium. They may experience life-threatening adrenal crises, especially when their body is under stress.

Trisomy X
alternative label: Triple XXX syndrome
comment: People with Trisomy X are born with 47XXX chromosomes rather than the typical 46XX. If they receive the additional X chromosome from their parent's original sperm or egg cell, they will have 47XXX chromosomes in all their cells. If the additional chromosome appears during the embryo's development process, however, only some cells will have 47XXX chromosomes and the person will be born with a mosaic chromosome pattern. Most people with 47XXX chromosomes do not develop any variations in their other sex characteristics but some may have ovaries that stop producing hormones at an earlier-than-typical age and some may not menstruate.

comment: People with Type 1 Leydig cell hypoplasia (LCH) produce almost no testosterone and will usually be born with a vulva and vagina and undescended testes. They are usually assigned female at birth, often without their variation being recognized until adolescence, at which point they generally will not develop any secondary sex characteristics or experience other changes typically associated with puberty.

comment: People with Type 2 Leydig cell hypoplasia (LCH) have some response to luteinizing hormone and produce lower-than-typical amounts of testosterone, but more than people with Type 1 LCH. At birth, their testes may be descended or undescended, and they may have a smaller-than-typical penis, often with other noticeable differences such as hypospadias. In adolescence, they will often develop some characteristics associated with a typical testosterone puberty.

A specific example of Type 2 MRKH known as Müllerian agenesis, Renal agenesis, Cervicothoracic Somite (MURCS) association, occurs when someone’s kidneys do not develop typically. They may have scoliosis or fused vertebrae in addition to the usual features of MRKH.

XXYY syndrome
comment: People with XXYY syndrome are born with an extra copy of both an X and Y chromosome, resulting in an 48XXYY chromosome pattern instead of the typical 46XY. People with XXYY chromosomes may have undescended testes and produce lower-than-typical amounts of testosterone, which can cause them to start puberty at a later age than typical and develop less pronounced secondary sex characteristics like muscle tone and facial hair. They may also experience breast growth. People with XXYY syndrome often have other physical features that are similar to those developed by people with Klinefelter syndrome (47XXY).
