| The only intersex organisation which has board members which are actually intersexed and which has board members with almost all known intersex variations is
The Organisation Intersex International
http://www.intersexualite.org
OII has members with the following intersex variations:
* 5-Alpha-reductase
* Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome
* Born with no gonads
* Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
* DES
* Turner’s
* XXY
* Etiology unknown
We have members which have lived as both official sexes, those which identity both within the binary and outside the binary. We have many members living as women and many members living as men.
We have members from the following continents: Asia, Africa, Australia, Europe, North America and South America.
We have members who speak the following languages: Arabic, English, French, German, Spanish, and Swedish.
We include communities which overlap with the intersex community: Two-Spirits, Queer feminists and Hijras.
We include people with many different religious backgrounds and those who reject all religious affiliation: Atheists, Agnostics, Christians, Hindus, Moslems, Jews, and Native-American spiritual traditions.
We include many different sexual orientations:
* Asexual,
* Homosexual,
* Heterosexual,
* Bisexual,
* Simply attracted to people
* Those who refuse all such categorization of their sexual orientation
We include many different genders
* Female
* Male
* Intergender
* Queer
* Two-Spirit
* Hijra
* Simply themselves
We include people who view their intersex as a condition and those who view their intersex as an identity and people who feel that it is both. |

| Hello Curtis,I think you have covered just about everyone one and everything 
I like the sexual orientation description of "Simply attracted to people" as it leaves the door open to all sorts of concoctions  as for gender.....well  how could I possible be anything other than "Simply Myself" thanks for the possibilities

| Hi there Xnister,
I love what you said - "Simply myself". What a wonderful way of putting it.
Thanks for sharing,
