The number of intersexed people is pretty small, so probably not that many. Of course, there's no way to know. Besides trangender <> intersex.

A couple of intersex people have shown up at the forums at catholic.com over the years, looking to see what advice the Church has for them. Sadly, there are no teachings or formal discussions on this. But again, it's a separate issue.

“The number of intersexed people is pretty small, so probably not that many. Of course, there’s no way to know.”

The statistical reports generated by the medical community have been reported there are more than enough to well outnumber the world’s population of Jewish people. The Jewish Virtual Library reports the world Jewish population to be about 13,900,000 people. Other sources claim a variety of numbers depending on definitions and who is counting at around 500,00 to 3,000,000 million in the United States. On average there is said to be one or more intersexed persons, meaning physical non-conformities in the genitalia alone, on average to be present in every county in the United States and in most communities. This does not take into account any real or imaginary cases of persons who believe they are suffering only from gender dysphoria and not an otherwise physical intersexed condition.

Over many years this subject about transgendered people has arisen in many discussion like this one. There were in fact a number of resources that were mentioned in each discussion. In one case a Catholic priest advised that the Church di not prohibit or condemn crossdressing or crossdressers so long as no sinful conduct was included such as prostitution, infidelity, homosexuality, masturbation, deceit, crimes, and so forth. However, transsexual sex changes that involved unnatural modifications of the God given body not for medical need apart from psychiatric need were prohibited. Current Catholic Doctrine is currently presented in the following:
