61: Intersex? Understanding Disordered Sex Development
from Catholic Parents Online Hosted by Catholic Parents Online
One of the reasons given to justify the position that sex is not binary, that is, either male or female, is the presence of so-called "intersex" conditions. These are rare situations when babies have atypical genitalia, or when boys and girls have chromosome or hormone variations, which leads to challenges in easily classifying them as male or female. However, the term "Intersex" is, more often than not, misunderstood. The collective and more medically accurate terminology is Disorder of Sex Development (or DSD). We explore the medical issues underlying DSD, whereby certain rare disorders of sex development can cause some individuals to not exhibit the full features of one sex or the other. We discuss why understanding this issue better helps us affirm the fact that sex is really binary, that is, male and female, in the first place.
