"Are they a girl or a boy?" That question is often asked of expecting parents almost out of habit. 

But biology is far more complicated and more interesting. 

Some of us are born with variations in sexual development, also known as intersex conditions. 

Members of the public joined us for a powerful, compassionate, and open dialogue between trailblazers - scientists, people with lived experience, clinicians, and more. 

Our experts untangled the confusing maze of sex, hormones, biology, medicine, and the law ... and explored our evolving understanding of sex differences. 

Hosted by Natasha Mitchell, presenter of ABC Radio National's Big Ideas program and podcast. You can listen to the program made from this event here or on the ABC Listen app (within Australia) or on your favourite podcast app (not yet on Spotify)
