I'm seeing a lot of 'hermaphrodite' being thrown around. I think the word you're looking for is intersex.

Warn: Banned

Upon quick review, that is true. Hermaphrodites are creatures that are able to self-fertilize or can fulfill the function of either sex for the species; and is a condition that is exclusive to plants, mollusks, and fish. Meanwhile "intersex" is a medical classification for individuals with genetic/genital birth defects, who suffer from either an incorrect sex chromosome (Lacking or having an extra X or Y chromosome) or develop sexual characteristics that are at odds with their genetics (Developing a vagina and ovaries despite having an XY chromosome and vice versa), with said individuals composing of less than 2% of the population, and almost universally being sterile.

Hermaphrodite is basically someone who was born with both female and male part, basically futanari ia japanese word for that...

Humans cannot be hermaphrodites since it's impossible for a person to be fully male and female simultaneously. Futanari is fiction.

How I miss when this question has two answers.

I don't care anyone who refutes me.
