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.
- Avshalom 11y agoTrue 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.
- nv-vn 11y agoYeah, 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.
