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, Transexuals, 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”.

The Hermaphrodite: Martha Maxine
Genetic test have confirmed that Martha Maxine was born as a mare hermaphrodite, with male sex chromosomes.
He was born female.
In June, the horse was reclassified as a male by the U.S. Trotting Association and barred from female-only races.
As a female, Martha won 13 races last year and collected over $190,000 in earnings.
According to the horse trainer, "If not for those tests, you never would have known this with this mare...We paid a lot of attention to her because she's a good horse and we didn't have a clue."
