Alright, let's clear some myths out of the way: -"Hermaphrodite" is an out-dated term - it refers to animals whose species naturally is both sexes, rather than human individuals with abnormal sexual characteristics. -Someone who has abnormal chromosomes, genitals or primary sex organs is called intersex. -Intersex is not a sex on it's own - usually doctors will assign at sex shortly after birth based on primary sex organs. Thus, the baby is either an intersex female or an intersex male. -Although in later years the individual may realise that the sex assigned at birth doesn't fit them, or other things emerge during puberty (Ie, a female assigned at birth is discovered to have testes in the abdomen), the person is generally considered the sex they were assigned at birth. -Thus, if a man is in a relationship with an intersex woman, it is a heterosexual relationship; if a man is in a relationship with an intersex man, it is a homosexual relationship. Good day.

My initial reaction to this post was, "Wtf? Who calls a person a 'hermaphrodite' anymore, the term is 'intersex.' " Then you commented my thoughts but articulated them far better.

I had always been under the impression that a hermaphrodite or intersex person was equally both sexes at the same time. So thank you for clearing that stuff up. ^_^

Also, I dunno what role religion would play in this, I'm just giving the medical and social context.

LIES!!! A hermaphrodite is not made in God's image, a hermaphrodite is made in the image of a particular offspring child of Hermes.

In the image of God, read Genesis 1:27-28 27) "So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created thekm; male and female he created them. 28) Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.” So how can 2 homosexual men reproduce and govern and do everything as it says in the Bible? Homosexuality is a sick, twisted mindset. All you gays, and supporters of gays saying "if it's love, let them be" are sick, delusional people! The least you can do is keep the bible out of this, if you're gonna twist the Word of God. You don't even know what's written in it

It isn't a fucking mindset. People are born gay. It's a chemical imbalance in the brain. They have no choice. Suuure they can supress it, but that isn't healthy.

They might be, you never know. You could be a doctor too for all we know about you, or you could a 12 year old girl, or you could be priest or something. Nobody knows anything about anybody on the internet. :P
