I don't know if someone said this before, but here goes:
While an intersex character could be interesting to roleplay due to their constant emotional battles, you must be made aware of the fact that due to the fetishization of hermaphrodites, people might approach your character for the wrong reasons.Â
Additionally, making a character that constantly deals with such inner emotional battles can be difficult to rp, as either:
a) When you RP, your character is too emotionally vulnerable to really talk to anyone
b) If your character DOES talk about their emotions, especially about such a big insecurity as this, people might be rubbed the wrong way and may interpret it as attention-seeking.
I did the former, where my character was going through an emotional turmoil (Still is) and due to this, she became withdrawn and distant, something that for others might become challenging to interact with when they seek a deeper connection with your character.
You also have to be careful with not making your character one-dimensional, as in, don't make the fact they have different genitals ALL there is to them, when you constantly bring it up IC or OOC, people start thinking that there's not much to your character except the fact they have boobs and a penis.
That said, my point is: Yes, I would definitely say an intersex character would be accepted by the community (I wouldn't mind rping with one either) But you have to have an extremely careful approach.
