wtptoo,<br><br>I think you are right about the
high incidence of intersexuals we see and hear about
being "females", because this is the standard of care,
(or lack thereof) in gender assignment surgery. I
look and function as male, although I too would like
to be able to identify myself as being not quite
like the other little boys. In my case there was no
question of reassignment surgery, as I had one palpable
testicle, so the only race that was run was to see where
the other testicle (or ovary) was in the body. My
hypospadias was left alone, too, thank god, so while I did
endure being opened up only to find nothing there, I did
not have to risk the high rate of failure in these
repair procedures. <br><br>To answer your question, the
incidence figure I hear is 1 in 2000 live births, which
makes intersexed people more common than those with
cystic fibrosis. <br><br>Doug
