Yes but even if it's the maximum 1/16 that's still a pretty small minority, and most of those people pass as one sex or the other. No I'm not an "XX or XY" fundamentalist, if you still otherwise pass as totally male or totally female and never find out you are intersex then you are as good as not.
Most people are unambiguously male or female, even if they are not "100%" then they are enough that they pass. The few people who are physically ambiguous are such a vanishingly small proportion of the population that they as good as don't exist in the big picture. It's also worth saying, that most of the people who actually are born with ambiguous genitals still pick either of the "traditional" genders to live as too, based on what they're closer to.
Is it normal to have multiple genders?
