That's silly. Intersex is by definition a mix of male and female. And it's much too diverse to be considered a single sex. It may be different if every case of intersex was the same, but it's not. Intersex does not have a particular set of characteristics like male and female do. It is a mashup of those two.

by definition a mix of male and female.

Hence it is sometimes difficult to determe if it's predominantly one sex or the other, and therefore called intersex. One of the reasons is related to my response to HKP re. congenital adrenal hyperplasia: https://saidit.net/s/SaidIt/comments/al91/thank_you_saidit/11ok5

Intersex means it's unclassified. An "unclassified" animal does not create a new species called unclassified. Rather "unclassified" denotes the lack of a classification. Intersex is just a catch-all term, not a specific sex like male and female.

I'd like to be extrasexed.
