Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A "true hermaphrodite" is someone who has both testicular and ovarian tissue. This means that they have both male and female reproductive organs. Having both XX and XY chromosome patterns is a genetic condition known as chimerism, which is distinct from true hermaphroditism. Sexual orientation (interest in males or females) and gender identity (identifying as male, female, or non-binary) are not related to being a hermaphrodite. Dressing up as the opposite gender is a personal expression and is not necessarily linked to a person's biological sex or gender identity.
