There is already a related question on intersex people here: [How are intersex people explained by Christianity?](https://christianity.stackexchange.com/q/83572/117426)
I’ve also come across some personal stories and documentaries on YouTube:
* [“I Was Born With Male and Female Parts” | Listen Up | ABC Science](https://youtu.be/4fP8WZXplR4)
* [“I Learned I Was Intersex At 21” | Listen Up | ABC Science](https://youtu.be/vcSCW51PSIs)
* [Born Intersex: Defying The Binary (Medical Documentary) | Real Stories](https://youtu.be/QVHq8wb19jo)
This made me wonder: has there ever been a documented case, in the records of any Christian organization, of an intersex individual being healed of their intersex condition by God?

"Intersex" is the colloquial term used to refer to what medically is known as [*disorders of sex development*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disorders_of_sex_development) (DSD):
