Intersex and Marriage

What is your take on Intersex people, people born with a reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn’t seem to fit the typical definitions of female or male. Like, a person who is born appearing to be female on the outside, but having some male-typical anatomy on the inside or a person may be born with mosaic genetics, so that some of there cells have XX chromosomes and some of them have XY? Can they be married or have sex in the Church’s opinion and yours?

OKAY so I’ve talked to various learned Catholics and the consensus is that we love them and we understand the predicament if they were born that way but one gender is almost always supreme over the other and with technology today, a DNA test is quite simple in order to find out the true sex of the person. So you’d go with that sex and decide on your sexuality accordingly and if it played out to be in accordance with Church teaching you could get married in the eyes of the Church.

I hope this helped! I have never been asked this question before!
