Disorders of sex development (DSD), also known as intersex conditions, refer to a group of medical conditions that affect the development of sex organs in an individual. To avoid stigmatizing language, some prefer to use the term "variations of sex development" or "differences of sex development" to describe these conditions. Other synonyms for DSD include ambiguous genitalia, atypical sex development, or intersex traits. However, it is important to note that not all individuals with DSD identify as intersex, and the terminology surrounding this topic can be complex and controversial. Regardless of the terminology used, it is crucial to approach this topic with respect, sensitivity, and a commitment to promoting inclusivity and equality.
