Gender and sexual self-identification
Some people with intersex conditions self-identify as intersex, and some do not. Most intersex individuals do tend to pick the gender that they feel most embodied by and choose to live exclusively as that sex.[35][36]

Surgery
In other cases, negative consequences may be avoided with surgery, however, there are very few intersex disorders that have medical consequences. The decision to operate is typically made by the parents of an intersex child shortly after the child is born. Doctors use chromosomal information when assessing which sex the baby should be. They also take into account which gender reassignment will pose the highest risk to the baby.

TV and radio
An episode of the U.S. TV series Emily Owens, M.D. called "Emily and... the Question of Faith", first aired on November 27, 2012, featured an intersex baby. In this episode, as often happens in real life, the parents did not know that their child was even intersex until they were at the hospital for other medical reasons. At first, they felt uncomfortable with the ambiguity and wanted to make a quick decision as they felt that the child would not be normal if it did not have a sex. Ultimately they decided to wait until the child was older and could express what gender it identified with. [64]

Education
The Intersex Society of North America supports the education of parents of intersex children and intersex individuals. They suggest that the child be allowed to decide what gender they would like to be once they have reached an age that they can give informed consent to gender reassignment surgery. Many individuals may even elect not to have surgery at all. Regardless of what the parents or the child decide, a lot a peer support and possibly even counseling is needed to fully understand the intersex condition.

Discussion in media and on internet
U.S. athlete Mildred Ella "Babe" Didrikson Zaharias was also suspected of being intersex. The testing that the Olympic committee uses is mostly hormonal testing. Caster was found to have higher than normal levels of testosterone which made others question her sex. In reality, participating in such rigorous sports and living an athletic lifestyle can have an effect on the hormones that your body naturally produces.

Signs
The signs of intersex include large variations in sex organs. Some variations are so slight that a person may not even know they are intersex. There are very few "symptoms" of being intersex and none of the intersex conditions have serious medical consequences, nor do they impede an individual from functioning normally.

Mangement
Clinical management of intersex can be categorized into one of the following two:[98] Treatments: Restore functionality (or potential functionality)which for those who don't want surgery or feel comfortable with the way their genital appear, may include hormone therapy to enforce physical features of the gender that an individual has chosen. Enhancements: Are mostly surgical interventions and can allow individuals to feel as though they fit in with society better. These enhancements mostly include cosmetic surgery.

The most common procedure is surgery, but intersex individuals should not feel pressured to take surgical intervention and should seek counseling and peer support.

Surgery
In the past, doctors would often decide for the parents what the sex of the child would be and the baby was swiftly carried off to surgery sometimes with out the parents consent. Often times, doctors would lead the parents to believe that something was wrong with their child and that a hasty decision had to be made. Today, most professionals encourage parents to hold off on surgery unless medical intervention is needed. This allows the parents time to gather information and allow the child to decide for themselves what sex is best for them. Forcing a sex upon a child can have very serious psychological consequences.

David Reimer
In an experiment to see if gender was determined by nature or nurture, psychologist John Money took advantage of what seemed to be the perfect case study. David (born Bruce and late renamed Brenda) and his twin brother were both circumcised and unfortunately, David's circumcision was botched because the doctor wanted to try a new technique that included cauterization. David was then to be raised as a girl and his brother as a boy. They twins would have the same natural environment, including their identical DNA. David never experienced a normal childhood and was often depressed and had few friends. Money and David's mother overlooked his unhappiness and reported that this experiment was a success and that David was progressing as a normal and healthy girl. Later in life David decided to take his life into his own hands and tried to make the transition back to a man. He married and helped raise his new wife's children. After several years he and his wife divorced and after experiencing other personal setbacks, he committed suicide. David's story has been published in the book, "As Nature Made Him: The Boy Who Was Raised a Girl," by journalist John Colapinto, and it has also been made into a documentary, "Sex: Unknown."
