Let's be clear about our terminology. To the best of MY understanding, a true Hermaphrodite NATURALLY has both a penis AND a vagina... in most cases, both are fully functional.

Transvestites or people who are transgender are not what I'm referring to. They may be Men whom have decided to live life as a woman in physical appearance and mannerisms, but they are genetically a man (having a penis & scrotum) or the opposite... women who dress & live the life of a man. Either of those types of individuals may or may not be taking hormones to help offset the "undesirable" traits of their intrinsic sex attributes.

The example I gave using a hermaphrodite was on the assumption of a 'true' Hermaphrodite... born that way. Oddly enough, the only pictures & footage I've seen are those that take-on the outward appearance of a Woman... quite possibly due to the primarilly female look of the body (Breasts, wide hips, no adams-apple, etc) They may very well be mostly "women" mentally, but having both sex organs. I don't know enough to speak with certainty.

If I think of any questions for either of you... I'll let you know. Thanks for sharing this part of your life for discussion.
