The Truth About Hermaphrodites

“We come now to consider another class of cases, namely, those in which the organs of generation are malformed, and in which therefore the determination of the question of sex is often difficult and sometimes impossible”

“It has occasionally happened that examination of such unfortunate creatures during life has wholly failed to decide the question of their sex, and that dissection was the only means for an unequivocal decision.”

“To these malformed human beings the generic term hermaphrodites has been applied, and the condition is called hermaphrodism or hermaphroditism.”

She possessed, in appearance at least, the organs of both sexes, but neither perfect: a small penis, an in a lad of 12 or 14 years, and testicles apparently developed; the yard was however not perforated. Underneath the testicles was what seemed to be a perfect female vestibule….”
