  Intersex does not necessarily mean agender/nonbinary. Intersex refers to the genetic sex of the person (i.e. like male or female), whereas nonbinary and agender refer to gender identification (like man or woman). An intersex person can identify as a man or a woman even though they're not technically male or female.

    True enough, though I didn't really feel like someone making a snarky comment about safe spaces was going to give a shit about the gender/sex distinction so, given that if the study is credible it's probably about sex rather than gender, I went with that.

      Yeah, although I think that a lot of people misjudged the original article because it used "gender" and "sex" interchangeably, as well as "man"/"woman" and "male"/"female" a lot.

  That's not a fact. It's a claim by the "Intersex Society of North America". "The Intersex Society of North America suggested that 1 percent of live births exhibit some degree of sexual ambiguity.[115]"

    On the other hand two sentences later: "According to Blackless, Fausto-Sterling et al., on the other hand, 1.7 percent of human births are intersex.[116][31]" And if you follow those links the abstract actually says "as high as 2% of live births".

  Intersex is a biological (factual) condition. Anything related to gender is a psychological (subjective) one.
