Sports? Marriage? Relationships? Professional environment? Pronouns?
Does it change based on the cause of the person’s intersex diagnosis?
Imo, do whatever you want. The only caveat is in very specific situations like women’s sports, where fairness is an issue. Testosterone is a steroid, and is banned from most leagues. Unfortunately, mtf trans women still produce steroids, and is unfair to cis women. And since the whole point of women’s sports is for them to be able to compete fairly, trans women are in a bind
It’s no one’s fault really, just an unfortunate biproduct of evolution.

I’m not talking about trans people, I’m talking about intersex people.
Oh sorry. I have a really bad habit about that.
On intersex people, imo it needs to be on a case by case basis, and I do not have the expertise to weigh in on it.
That said, IMHO, it should fairly strict. The mens side should remain open to all. The women’s side should be for women only, since other wise they’d lose everytime.
…Except that they don’t. It depends on the sport. Danica Patrick out-competed men in drag racing. Shooting sports with stationary targets tend to have almost complete gender parity. On the other hand, no men at all are competing in artistic swimming, despite the fact that they are permitted to. And there’s not any kind of straight line between testosterone and performance; yeah, lots and lots of testosterone is good for bulking up, but it’s not so great for ultramarathon runners.
For boxing specifically, men win.
