 Intersex does not describe a specific body type but rather is an umbrella term for a broad range of variations/traits. Some intersex individuals may closely resemble one of the binary sexes, while others are closer to in between. An intersex individual may have characteristics of both the wolffian and müllerian sexes, characteristics that fall somewhere in-between wolffian and müllerian, and/or characteristics that don't fall into either.
-Intersex individuals may have any [[Gender Identity|gender identity]], including [[male]], [[female]], [[Non-Binary|non-binary]], etc.<ref>[https://www.intersexequality.com/intersex/ IC4E: What Is Intersex?]</ref> They may identify as [[cisgender]] or [[transgender]], or possibly another [[Gender Modality|gender modality]] such as [[ipsogender]] or [[ultergender]]. Intersex individuals can have any [[Assigned Gender|assigned gender]] at birth, some may be [[AMAB]] or [[AFAB]] because their variation of intersex was not noticed at birth. Others may be corrosively assigned male/female at birth (CAMAB/CAFAB), meaning they had nonconsensual surgery preformed on them so their body more closely fits one of the binary sexes. In some rare cases they are [[AXAB]]. Each intersex individual has a unique relationship to their gender, assigned gender at birth, the gender they were raised as, and how that relates to their experience being intersex.

 Intersex is included in the LGBT+ community, though not all intersex individuals consider themself to be [[LGBT+]] on the basis on being intersex. This is largely a personal choice based on how one's status as intersex has (or hasn't) affected their experiences.
