First of all, let's dispel a common myth: that there are only two genders. The world is not neatly divided into male and female. In humans as in nature, some individuals are born with gender characteristics that place them in a third category: Intersex.
The website for The Intersex Society of North America (ISNA) explains:
" 'Intersex' is a general term used for a variety of conditions in which a person is born with a reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn't seem to fit the typical definitions of female or male . . . intersex anatomy doesn't always show up at birth.
