Intersexuality is a collection of conditions where biological sex often cannot be determined conclusively at birth because features that are normally associated with female or male are present in an unusual combination. These features can include morphological, hormonal, genetic variations which fall outside the norms.
Intersexuality differs from but is related to androgyny.
