2.2. Sex

At birth it is decided whether you are a girl or a boy. This is done based on your sex. If you have a variation in your sex characteristics, you are an intersex person. Intersex is an umbrella term. This means that a lot of different variations are possible.

Intersex people are born with physical sex characteristics that do not fit within the norms of the medical world and/or the current social-cultural ideas of the context in which the child is born.
