Description
A term previously used in medical contexts to refer to different groups of intersex variations, usually divided into categories of “male pseudohermaphroditism” and “female pseudohermaphroditism” on the basis of the person’s chromosomes. People may still find these terms used in their medical records or in medical journal articles when researching their variation, but they are often considered highly stigmatizing in addition to being vague and inaccurate. Do not use this term to describe a person's variation unless they do so themselves.
