Intersex Across the Animal Kingdom

The video explores the complexity of biological sex, challenging the binary view of male and female. It introduces intersex conditions, also known as differences of sex development (DSDs), which can be chromosomal or hormonal. Chromosomal DSDs include Klinefelter and Turner syndromes, affecting physical traits and health. Hormonal DSDs involve gene alterations impacting hormone processing, leading to conditions like androgen insensitivity syndrome. The video also highlights intersex conditions in animals, including hermaphroditism and sex changes in species like clownfish, emphasizing the diversity of sex characteristics in nature.
