Hermaphrodites In Hollywood

Hermaphroditism is a sex development disorder in which a person is born with both male and female gene tails or traits. They are often called Intersex, Androgynous, In-Between, Gender Benders, Hijras, and Eunuch. The reproductive organs might be fully or partially developed and can be at various developing stages. Therefore, the people who are stuck with both the reproductive organs are called hermaphrodites and their condition falls under the term “Hermaphroditism”.
