    "content": "(j) by deleting the definition of the term “intersex” and substituting therefor the following definition— “intersex child” means a child with a congenital condition in which the biological sex characteristics cannot be exclusively categorised in the common binary of female or male due to inherent and mixed anatomical, hormonal, gonadal or chromosomal patterns, which could be apparent prior to, at birth, in childhood, puberty or adulthood”; Again, it is about the way they are arranged. I would like to propose that the definition of term “intersex” be amended as indicated above. Definition of an “intersex child” under Section 2 of the Bill is inaccurate. This definition is broader as it comprises the full aspects of being intersex as opposed to physical characteristics. This definition is in line with what is adopted in the Report by the Government Taskforce on Policy, Legal, Institutional and Administrative Reforms regarding an intersex person that examined the legal policy, institutional and administration challenges that the intersex children and others are facing. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman."
