An intersex person may have any [[gender identity]]. They may agree with their assigned gender; in this case, they would be described as either [[ipsogender]] or [[cisgender]], although the usage of the term ''cisgender'' is controversial with regard to intersex people.

Some intersex people think of their intersex status as belonging to the broader range of [[LGBTIQAP]] identities. | An intersex person may have any [[gender identity]].
