Lets Rewrite the Script!
Intersex Aotearoa is an intersex-led non-profit organisation- our mission and vision is to create a safe and supportive society where intersex people are able to be visible and thrive!
Intersex is an umbrella term used to describe a range of natural variations in the human body; specifically a persons sex characteristics. These variations are seen by medical circles as "atypical", or not the "norm".
There are about 40 different intersex variations known and representing about 2.3% of the population, so perhaps it is, in fact, pretty normal!
Sex characteristics can include everything from our hormones and chromosomes, to our internal and external anatomy. The variations of sex characteristics can be present at birth or may become evident in puberty or later in adulthood.
