People who identify as Asexual experience little to no sexual attraction toward individuals of any gender. Asexual people - also known as "Ace" or "Aces" - may have little to no interest in having sex, even though most desire emotionally intimate relationships. However, it's important to remember that asexuality is an umbrella term, and exists on a spectrum! Within the ace community, there are many ways for people to identify, and all of them are valid forms of being asexual. It's also important to note that asexuality is an identity and sexual orientation; it is not a medical condition or the same thing as celibacy or abstinence.

Intersex people are born with physical differences inside and/or outside their bodies. This happens when our body’s sex chromosomes, organs, and/or hormones don’t line up in a way that is typical for a “male” or “female.” People with intersex traits have always existed, but there is more awareness now about the diversity of human bodies. People with intersex bodies can face discrimination in healthcare settings as early on as infancy. There are over 30 specific medical terms for combinations of intersex traits, and each intersex person is different! Intersex folks can have any gender identity or sexual orientation on the spectrum.
