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”.

Update: Phoebe Hart
"I started off in my mum's uterus as a boy, but my body didn't respond to testosterone. The code was there to be a boy but it didn't hold, so I developed along female lines. I have female genitalia but no uterus and I was born with internal testes...I also use the term hermaphrodite to describe myself – it's a provocative word and can be offensive, but I think it can be reclaimed in an empowering way" --- The hermaphrodite Phoebe Hart writes as she opens up and shares her life story with Australia's Body + Soul.
God bless this woman. She is an inspiration to me and I wasn't born with this issue. More people really need understanding of this occurrence versus the homosexual or sex changing (what seems to be) phenomenon. Wonderful story of beauty for ashes.
