Essentially it appears to be a female cat where the sex organs failed to develop properly.

Certainly something that can happen with humans as well. Not sure if you'd describe it as an intersex condition or simply a developmental deformity.

Intersex conditions are ARE developmental deformities..

Yup, and they've been forced into the rainbow mafia and used as a pawn in their intellectually dishonest arguments just for having a birth defect. Don't be "ableist" though! 🙄

Hasn’t ISNA, the intersex society, asked numerous times for the intersex label to be removed from the LGBTIQAXYZ list? I’m sure that I read that somewhere.

Exactly. Even then vets said that they might find ovarian tissue somewhere inside.

I think various types of hermaphrodites are common among cats. Another common mutation are hexadacts, six digits on the paws instead of five.

Stunning and brave feline undergoes successful bottom surgery, bigots left confused.

More at 10.

So... another genetic aberration? An anomaly? A statistical outlier?

A playful homeless kitten has been found to be neither male nor female because it has no sex organs, in a first seen by vets at an animal charity.

Tabby-and-white Hope was originally thought to be a female cat when it was admitted to Cats Protection's rescue centre in Warrington, but vets found no external sex organs.

Vets said they have seen hermaphrodite cats — with male and female sex organs — even though they are very rare, but Hope has no sex organs, externally or internally.

Cats Protection's senior field veterinary officer Fiona Brockbank said it appears to be a case of agenesis — the failure of an organ to develop — which she and her colleagues have never seen before.

The charity said examinations have shown Hope will not be otherwise affected by the condition and is waiting to be rehomed at Cats Protection's Tyneside Adoption Centre.

Ms Brockbank said: 'We carried out a procedure to look for sex organs but there's nothing apparent inside or out.

'There's an outside possibility of some ectopic ovarian tissue hiding away internally but we think this is extremely unlikely.

'This is so rare that there isn't really a commonly used term for this condition, but it is effectively sexual organ agenesis — where agenesis is the lack or failure of development in relation to body organs.'

You know, I can find a four-leaf clover; doesn't mean clover doesn't nornally have 3 leaves. This whole insistance that the gender binary isn't real because genetic anomalies happen is profoundly retarded.

"They" seems appropriate for once, although it is likely to be a "she".
