Pediatrics. 2002 Sep;110(3):616-21.Intersex issues: a series of continuing conundrums.Blizzard RM.Department of Pediatrics, University of Virginia, Health Sciences Center, Charlottesville, VA 22903, USA. Comment on:The term "intersex," as defined in Stedman’s Medical Dictionary and in the Compact Oxford English Dictionary, is "one having characteristics of both sexes." Unfortunately the characteristics are not defined in any manner. Therefore, the interpretation may be physical, mental, in personality, or in other ways. Despite this confusion, the term today is used primarily, but not exclusively, to denote physical ambiguity-having the genital/gonadal/reproductive structures characteristic of both sexes. It is this interpretation that is referred to in this commentary. | |
