INTERSEX Italic text

There are plenty of conditions that can lead to the under development of the sex characteristics collectively referred to as Intersex conditions. These can be abnormalities of the genitals, either externally or internally. Some of these conditions include:
 * • genitals that cannot be classified as male or female/ambiguous
 * • Incomplete development of internal reproductive organs
 * • Abnormalities of the sex chromosomes
 * • Under development of the testes or ovaries

Intersex is a medical term that has been currently embraced by the intersex community. Person(s) with intersex conditiosn are currently pushing for the community to adopt the term "Disorders of Sex Development or DSD". This term is deemed as more accurate and less of a stigma.

Intersex conditions are not always apparent at birth, some babies are born with ambiguous genitals, while other have ambiguous internal organs (testes and ovaries). There are four conditions listed in the category of “Intersex” -congenital adrenal hyperplasia, 5-alpha-reductase deficiency, partial androgen insensitivity syndrome, and penile agenesis Indented line. Klinefelter syndrome (complete androgen insensitivity), Turner syndrome or vaginal agenesis generally does not result in ambiguous genital but may not be recognized at birth. Some conditions will not be apparent until later in life or around the age of puberty. There is lots of variables that are assessed when deciding on surgery for a baby with ambiguous genitals. There is distinct goal when deciding whether gender assignment surgery is necessary is to preserving fertility (if possible), good bowel and bladder functions, persevering genital sensation and increasing the odds that the baby will be satisfied with the assigned gender.

Transgender; Transgender is an umbrella term for person(s) (unlike Intersex) who gender identity, expression and behavior does not match the typically associated sex that they were born with. “Gender Identity” refers to the internal notion of being male or female. “Gender expression” refers to the nature in which a person communicates their gender. Many people mistake transgender individuals for people with intersex conditions because the fail to understand the differences and see two groups of people who would like to choose their gender identity, which usually constitutes in surgery. It is correct that there are similarities, as well as some intersex individuals may choose to identify themselves as Transgender or Transsexual. Even with these similarities these two groups are not the same group. One group is born with an external gender differences as the other group battles internal gender differences.

MLA253 This was an interesting topic, although one has to read through the entire passage to figure out what the topic is - so, I would put a header on your section. Also, as the person above mentioned, the list of conditions needs to be put in list form so that the reader can clearly see what the list is/contains. More references are needed, as is a reference list. Be sure to go through and fix all grammatical errors.
