The aim of this essay is to focus that there are various legal, social, medical and scientific opinions and theories about what constitutes sex and what constitutes gender. Some people do not have a sex identity that is exclusively male or female. Gender is a cultural expression of sex identity (often but not always based on stereotypes of masculinity and feminist). Gender can be understood as a person look, dressing or acting as male or female. Some people do not have gender identity that is either exclusively male or female. Some people's gender identity is not linked to their sex. Every person has the right to have their gender identity recognized and respected. Unlike most minority group, the most tangible discrimination which intersex people have faced is medical. This is partly responsible for why some intersex organization have remained focused on medical issues as opposed to human rights.
