Based on medical definitions or biology a uterus is female and testicles is male
If a person is born with a uterus and testicles they are intersex. If doctors do an examination on a person and find they have both a uterus and testicles their feelings isn’t going to effect whether the doctors call them intersex
If you have both organs of male and female or vestigial parts of both organs... meaning you have one full set and partial set of the opposite sex, you are considered intersex.
Good doctors would be very delicate with someone who is young and would take the time to explain what "intersex" means. Usually, with intersex children, it takes time, usually until puberty, to discover what hormonal path the youth will take, therefore, there is no longer removal of vestigial organs, or any removals of anything, until the child presents as predominantly male or female.
There is also no longer the push to treat a child as "male" or "female" or to dress them in a certain way, as has happened in the past. Many children were forced to be "female", though for their entire lives they felt they were male, or vice-versa.
Doctors did this because in many cases the penis was so small as to be almost non-functional, so it was removed in surgery when the child was an infant. There were many suicides in later life because of this mistaken tact.

Yeah intersex you have to be born that way. But they might lean more towards a certain sex by there hormones and brain differences. It’s very rare though
Had a MD that taught a biology and sexuality class in college... He said in cases like that. It's easier to dig a hole than to build a pole
