Not so rare that it's unknown in FReeperdom, though. I know someone who was born intersex.

One in 4000 births, I just googled it.
Out of 280 million, that would be 7 thousand, if I've done my math right, here in the US.

Or maybe 70,000?
I'm trying to do it in my head...I think 70,000 is right.

The term "intersex" is completely inappropropriate. Intersex by definition means having both male and female sex organs, technically an intersex individual could impregnate himherself which has never happened in the history of mankind.
MSN is wrong with their terminology. They are referring to babies of ambiguous sexual characteristics.
