1.5% of people are not intersex. It's closer to about 0.02%

I got my numbers from Amnesty International.

Myth 2: Being intersex is very rare

According to experts, around 1.7% of the population is born with intersex traits – comparable to the number of people born with red hair.

It's a common figure that you will often see but it's wrong.

It's based on an academic paper that included a large range of non-intersex conditions that affect phenotype.

Actual chromosomal difference (which is what intersex refers to) is about 0.02%.
