Original Note:
Anne Fausto-Sterling asserted that 1.7% of society was intersex, with only 0.5% with sexual variations. The study has been disputed particularly by Leonard Sax, with accusations of using data from non-intersex groups. The prevalence may be as low as 0.018% of the population. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12476264/ https://www.americanprogress.org/article/key-issues-facing-people-intersex-traits/#:~:text=It%20is%20estimated%20that%20up,identifiable%20sexual%20or%20reproductive%20variations.
