There has been much talk and legislation around transgender issues as of late. Kansas just passed a bill restricting transgender people to use bathrooms that correlate with their assigned biological sex at birth. https://www.pressherald.com/2023/04/05/kansas-passes-bill-restricting-transgender-peoples-access-to-public-accommodations/
They did include amendments to accommodate intersex individuals by classifying them as "disabled" and entitled to fair treatment under the "Americans with Disabilities Act."
According to the Centers for American Progress, "1.7 percent of the population has an intersex trait and 0.5 have clinically identifiable sexual or reproductive variations." https://www.pressherald.com/2023/04/05/kansas-passes-bill-restricting-transgender-peoples-access-to-public-accommodations/
According to Medline intersex is a condition in which the external reproductive organs does not match the internal reproductive organs or in simple terms a person is born with both sets of reproductive organs. https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/001669.htm There are other intersex characteristics but when it comes to using public bathroom it's the reproductive organs that the law is focused on.
So in general if someone is born intersex how should they identify?
