It all depends on how it is presented. In most cases it is facepalm-worthy (as written by someone far from LGB), but sometimes it is pretty good. And if story starts with characters already being LGB and not focusing on that, then it is fine in most cases as well.

    I've never seen an intersex character in media that wasn't a completely inaccurate misrepresentation (usually a character being a hermaphrodite or something)

    And tbh, unless people can learn to research intersex conditions (and they won't, because it's 2020 and we live in an age of misinformation and believing fact checking is unnecessary) I'd rather there be no intersex characters at all.

    I'd rather be totally "invisible" than have people view me the wrong way (and often sexually harass me because they think I'm a "sexi herm with bobs penes and vageine")

    There was a Japanese drama called IS - Otoko Demo Onna Demo Nai Sei in 2011 about an intersex individual. I think it was originally a manga.i haven't watched it tho, dunno if it's accurate, but I see someone already put it under transgender representation online... rollsmyeyes.
