Typically intersexed athletes compete with women for one of two reasons:
1) The male hormones they possess give them some advantages in terms of muscle development over normal female athletes while the lower natural levels of those same hormones compared to normal men put them at a relative disadvantage. Both male and female athletes have tried to cheat by adding more of these natural hormones to their systems to enhance and accelerate muscle growth and to speed up muscle repair after an injury or stressful competition or training.
2) Intersexed athletes may have some outward physical characteristics of males, but they tend to be very underdeveloped. As a consequence, they tend to look more female than male and may be more comfortable being identified as female.
Masquerading as a man, which would be difficult an athletes competed naked.
A woman named Neroli Fairhall was the first papaplegic to compete alongside ablebodied athletes in 1984. She was an archer from New Zealand.
The easiest way to tell if you were born intersexed is by examining your genitalia. If it is abnormal, scarred, or significant parts are missing then it is possible that you were born intersexed. A more complex way is to have the doctor examine to discover if you're missing vital organs that are needed for your gender. For example, if a woman is missing her ovaries or a man is missing his testes then they were surely born intersexed.
Lots of athletes are woman.

First, an intersexed individual is not fairly called a "woman" unless that person wants to be called a woman. Second, your sexual orientation doesn't depend on who you date, but on the gender you are physically attracted to.
