2% is a highly inflated figure..........A more moderate range often cited by medical and advocacy groups, based on noticeable genital ambiguity at birth requiring specialist input, is 1 in 1,500 to 1 in 2,000 births (0.05% to 0.07%). This would suggest between 172,500 and 241,500 intersex individuals in the U.S. today. The Intersex Society of North America (now succeeded by InterACT) supported this range for clinically significant cases, though it acknowledged subtler variations might push the number higher.
