Changes

In general, intersex conditions do not cause the person to feel sick or in pain. However, some [[intersex ]] conditions are associated with serious health issues, which need to be treated medically. However, surgically "correcting" the appearance of intersex genitals will not change these underlying medical needs.

No one knows exactly how many children are born with [[intersex ]] conditions because of the secrecy and deception surrounding it, and also because there is no concrete boundaries to the definition of "intersex." It is nonetheless estimated that about one in 2,000 children, or five children per day in the [[United States]], are born visibly intersex, prompting early (and often misguided) intervention.
