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): > **Disorders of sex development** (**DSDs**), also known as **differences in sex development**, **variations in sex > characteristics** (**VSC**),[^(\[2\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disorders_of_sex_development#cite_note-NHS-2)[^(\[3\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disorders_of_sex_development#cite_note-3) **sexual > anomalies**, or **sexual abnormalities**, are [congenital > conditions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_disorder) affecting > the [reproductive > system](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_reproductive_system) , in > which development > of [chromosomal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosome), [gonadal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonad) , > or [anatomical sex](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_sex) is > atypical.[^(\[4\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disorders_of_sex_development#cite_note-lee-4)[^(\[5\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disorders_of_sex_development#cite_note-5) > > DSDs are subdivided into groups in which the labels generally > emphasize the [karyotype](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karyotype) 's > role in diagnosis: 46,XX; 46,XY; sex chromosome; XX, sex reversal; > ovotesticular disorder; and XY, sex > reversal.[^(\[6\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disorders_of_sex_development#cite_note-6) > > Infants born with atypical genitalia often cause confusion and > distress for the family. [Psychosexual > development](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychosexual_development) is > influenced by numerous factors that include, but are not limited to, > gender differences in brain > structure, [genes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene) associated with > sexual development, prenatal androgen exposure, interactions with > family, and cultural and societal > factors.[^(\[7\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disorders_of_sex_development#cite_note-7) Because > of the complex and multifaceted factors involved, communication and > psychosexual support are all important. > > A team of experts, or patient support groups, are usually recommended > for cases related to sexual anomalies.
