MTV's teen comedy Faking It is poised to break new ground on the small screen in its second season when it explores what it's like to be born intersex.

MTV's 'Faking It' Boss Defends Fake-Lesbian Premise, Talks Avoiding Stereotypes (Q&A)
Intersex is a physical condition that occurs when a person is born with both male and female chromosomes but their bodies typically develop as female. About one in every 2,000 people are born with intersex traits and the condition is as common as people with red hair.
On Faking It, Bailey De Young portrays Lauren, a hyper-feminine bitchy teen who is the sister (by marriage) to Rita Volk's Amy, who in season one, faked a lesbian relationship with her best friend Karma (Katie Stevens), to move up the social ladder at an Austin high school.
