Abstract
This paper will deal with the existential condition of people diagnosed in an intersexual state based on the anatomical and gonadal sexual ambiguity described as hermaphroditism. The refl ection and analysis of the LGBTTTI group’s orientation and/or sexual preference processes is not the main objective of the study, but rather the refl exive considerations that provoke bioethical dilemmas in the choice of sex-generic identity that is assigned by third parties to a person at the time of birth according to a clear and objective genitality that reveals anatomical ambiguity, causing the people responsible and/or close to it –whether parents, guardians, or doctors– to make hasty and/or arbitrary decisions regarding the designation of the sex with which the newborn will be registered –for legal purposes–. This gives rise to a consent (perhaps hasty and even arbitrary) with respect to the surgical treatment indicated to assign sexual identity from the genitality or depending only on the gonadal situation, which subsequently implies dilemmatic ethical situations concerning the existential condition of the sexual identity assigned arbitrarily and under implicit legal, social and cultural pressure.
