It would really depend on the specific intersex condition. It sounds like this documentary was an extremely unusual case

It was either misrepresenting the case or it was documentary about that one single case from 1800s which we know almost nothing and there genital mutilation took place, so most likely they mistreated someone and misjudged the condition after.

I don't know what's meant by two sexual characteristics. No one has both a fully formed penis and vagina, or both testis and ovaries, or two active gonads. Without more information, I'd just say I need to know the specific intersex condition.
