How sexually dimorphic are we? Review and synthesis

Article Abstract:

Frequency of deviation from the ideal male or female may occur in as many as 2% of live births, although "corrective" genital surgery of intersexual infants is performed in about 0.1-0.2% of live births, according to a survey of medical literature. Topics discussed include "sex" chromosome composition, androgen insensitivity in XY individuals, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, vaginal and penile agenesis, hormone-producing tumors and exogenous sex hormones, true hermaphrodites and idiopathic mixed genitalia.
