Intersexuality, a condition of intermediate states between male and female, it is not reffering to a question of genitality, since it depends on the multiple variations speaking of chromosomes, genes, hormones and the combination of all these elements. Based on all these variables and their combinations, we are able to recognize at least 40 variations in the intersex spectrum. In this research, we will study how intersexuality has been discussed throughout history and its reflection in art, the way in which it has been represented, silenced and vindicated through the work of intersexual artists who have conceived their creation as a form of empowerment facing the pathologization, medicalization and invisibility of their bodies and identities for the sake of protecting the binary system of gender identity.
