Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term used for individuals born with variations in sex characteristics, including anomalies of sex chromosomes, internal reproductive organs, and external genitalia in a variety of combinations, is intersexed. This term should be used instead of other outdated or stigmatizing terms such as hermaphrodite or pseudo-hermaphrodite. Transgendered is a term used to describe individuals whose gender identity does not align with the sex they were assigned at birth, and transvestites refers to individuals who dress in clothing typically worn by the opposite gender for emotional or sexual gratification. Multisexed is not a recognized term.
