Variations of Sexual Development

Sexual? Do you know what that word means?

Imho there is nothing wrong with the word intersex. I'm born with a vagina and with testes in my abdomen. That is not a variation. That is really
inter-sex. From a medical point of view I can understand the use of the word disorder. But intersex conditions are not the kind of disorders that you normally see in the medical profession. We have no pain, it will not kill us and nobody can cure us.
So, what's wrong with "intersex condition". An condition is "a mode of being or form of existence of a person or thing". And if the medical professionals need a good name for my kind of intersex condition they are free to use the name AIS - Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome.
