What does the phenomenon of intersexuality suggest?
Intersexuality suggests that biological sex is not always clearly binary (male or female), as individuals can be born with variations in sex characteristics that do not fit typical definitions. This challenges the idea that sex is strictly determined by anatomy and highlights the complexity of human sexual development. Treatment and support for intersex individuals should be guided by principles of bodily autonomy and respect for their diverse experiences.

If a woman had the same type of cancer as Lance Armstrong what would it be called?
Ovarian cancer could be considered the female equivalent to testicular cancer, as they are essentially homologous organs. (that is, they share a "common ancestry" embyologically, and they are both gonads and endocrine glands) Depending on how one interprets it, it is theoretically possible for a woman to have to have testicular cancer. One suffering from intersexuality "disorders" like complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) - genetically a male with undescended testes, but with a vagina and outward female appearance - or Klinefelter's syndrome - instead of XY (male) or XX (female) chromosomes, one has XXY - can get testicular cancer.
