What does intersex mean?


I don't know what it means in this case.  If a man is born with a leg muscles structure that is found in 60% of all women and only in 50% of all men, is that person intersex?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Why is the skeleton female in that case? Not rhetorical.

I've not read that the skeleton is female, just that its pelvis had features only generally seen on females.  Can skeletons themselves BE female or male?

I bet he got a lot of unwelcome attention in the old battalion when he wore riding pants.

Used to be called hermaphrodite, but the latter term is now just used scientifically for plants with both kinds of sex organs and is considered inappropriate when referring to people or animals.

When did that happen?  I didn't get the memo, not that I particularly care.

Some point between 20 years ago and 10 years ago. It seemed like suddenly around 2007 I was hearing intersex.

Well, I read the Wiki article on it (as much as that's worth).  Intersex seems to cover an enormous amount of ground, anything from having both made and female genitalia to having an abnormal hormonal balance.  Anyone one of us could be intersex, show no physical signs, and only could only find out through genetic testing.

I always hoped that my sex fantasies involving heroic foreign cavalry officers weren't gay.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

We have a Pulaski county in Missouri.  As it is in the Ozarks there are all sorts of congenital abnormalities.

We have a Pulaski Skyway here in Jersey City.  Some parts of it definitely weren't where they should've been, such as on-ramps and off-ramps.  Getting onto the two-lane road with no shoulder that's congested with cars speeding at 60 MPH, from a stop sign on the left, is definitely an experience for those wanting to become more religious.  At least it didn't have a passing lane in the middle that was shared by both directions of traffic, that was replaced by a median in the fifties.
