How can you tell

I feel like I might be intersex but I really can't tell. How can you tell? Is there any good resources anyone can recommend?

@0wen The Intersex Society of North America, for example, provides this explanation: What is intersex?

The short answer seems to be, "Ask your doctor." But also be aware that doctors do not always agree, so you might have to ask several doctors in order to reach a satisfactory conclusion.

You would have to see doctors for them to run testing to see if you are. There are many forms of intersex, so sharing the specifics of why you think you might be would be helpful.

Have you asked your biological parents/birthing parent? Many don't get diagnosed at birth, but I do know at least one intersex individual whose parents knew and decided against telling him.
