      Male and female are the only sexes; intersex is just a blanket term for various medical conditions that describe abnormal development of sex characteristics.

        It’s natural and harmless to have any combination of male and female sexual characteristics, even if it’s uncommon. It’s only considered medical condition because we decided it was.

        My friend has a uterus and gonads. I have red hair and blue eyes. Both are super uncommon and neither has caused us any trouble, that’s just how we’re made.

        I’d argue that male and female are just names for the ends of the spectrum.
