ABSTRACT
Important distinctions between individuals with transsexual and intersex conditions are, at times, blurred in both popular and scientific literature. While individuals with an intersex syndrome may share some features (e.g., gender dysphoria and identity concerns) with those diagnosed with transsexualism, persons with intersex conditions diverge from transsexuals in terms of associated features including prevalence, age of onset, and sex ratio when presenting with a gender identity disorder (GID) (Meyer-Bahlburg 1994).
