Just a note, "hermaphrodite" is a wildly inaccurate term to define those with an indeterminate sex within the dichotomy of male/female and can be quite offensive as well, especially when used outside of specific cases (none of which I've ever heard to be identified accurately as strictly hermaphroditic)
- niggler 14y agoHermaphroditism is incredibly rare, but there are recorded cases (including cases of births involving hermaphrodites: according to http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18394621 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18394621 there were 11 reported cases of fertility in true hermaphrodites)
