LGBT abbreviation due to tragedy gay club Orlando has been actively used in the press over the past few days, but few people know that there is also an abbreviation with an “i” at the end - LGBTI. It stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex.

About one in every 2 of thousands of people is born with abnormalities of reproductive / sexual anatomy or with a set of chromosomes that do not fully correspond to the male or female type. This person is called intersex because he can feel like a man and a woman.

In many parts of the world, intersex people are said to have to fight for recognition, equality and human rights, like lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender people.

Although intersex people are not so rare (almost with the same frequency as red-haired people), their condition is not obvious to others, and they themselves sometimes do not realize themselves as intersexual until puberty.

Because intersex people are born with unique biological characteristics, they cannot be identified with transgender people—people who perceive their original gender identity as foreign.

The paradox is that many intersexual people, in spite of themselves, undergo surgical intervention and hormone therapy, while transgender people themselves often fail to do the same for themselves.
