“Disorder of Sex Development” (DSD)
(noun)
A largely outdated way of referring to intersex people. It’s a relic of the medicalization of intersex people and generally seen as unnecessary when there is better language to use.
e.g. Shannon knew they needed to find a new doctor when their primary care physician mentioned DSD after they came out as intersex.
