Answer 1

No, intersex refers to biological variation in terms of sex, whereas transgender refers to gender identity irrespective of biological sex. Intersex individuals may have atypical reproductive anatomy or chromosomal patterns. Transgender individuals have a gender identity that differs from the sex assigned at birth.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, intersex refers to biological variation in terms of sex, whereas transgender refers to gender identity irrespective of biological sex.

Intersex is a general term used to describe people whose sex traits, reproductive anatomy, hormones, or chromosomes are different from the usual two ways human bodies develop. Transgender people's gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. Gender identity refers to one's sense of being male, female, neither of these, both of these or another gender.

For example, an intersex individual may be born with atypical reproductive anatomy or chromosomal patterns that do not fit the typical male or female categories. On the other hand, a transgender person may have been assigned male at birth but identifies as female or vice versa.
