Hermaphrodite aka intersex and Homosexuality

[day_rose]

ok reading thou Debates on Homosexuality theres lot aobut same sex sex so what if you where born a Hermaphrodite aka intersexed, for thoese who do not know what it is ..

The terms hermaphrodite and pseudohermaphrodite, introduced in the 19th century, are now considered problematic as hermaphrodism refers to people who are both completely male and completely female, something not possible.The phrase '"ambiguous genitalia'" refers specifically to genital appearance, but not all intersex conditions result in atypical genital appearance.

SO if your born both male and female who do you date and have sex with?

Strange topic!

The term "true" hermaphrodite is reserved for the very rare cases where both ovarian and testicular tissue is present.

I guess it will have to be decided from what a person like this would feel to be natural. If they feel like a woman, then they should stick to men.

Surgery has sometimes been performed to alter the appearance of the genitals. Modern approaches often involve delaying surgery when possible until the child matures enough to express a preference.

The answer to the question is pretty easy:- Imho gender is a state of mind a state of being:- as a person you are whatever gender you identify as, genitalia may influence that decision but it is a factor that can be corrected if a person wishes.

A person should date and fall in love and have sex with whoever they wish as long as the other person consents to it. The gender of a person is irrelevant in terms of who they can and cannot fall in love with.

I'm amused by how little the fundy side of the aisle wanted to tackle this question.

Every time a thread on being Intersex or transexual comes up theres always so few comments by those opposed to it. I find it speaks volumes on the fact that because it shows gender isnt black and white it means there isnt really any good argument against it.

I think that's entirely dependant upon which gender to which the intersex person is attracted. Now, there are going to be plenty of people, both heterosexual and homosexual and all other variants, who will be repulsed by the idea of comingling with such a person, so, honesty's the best policy before they undress.


The existence of such persons begs the question of the the absurdity of the gay-hating and gay-baiting cohort vis-a-vis Biblical interpretation and judgmentalism in which some engage. No doubt some self-aggradizers will assert the lot of the intersex person is lifetime celibacy as they wag their fingers. But these individuals are certainly not qualified to judge others as they wish. Better to leave it to the individual. Those intersex persons reading this should avoid any sort of "pastoral counseling" from assertive uninformed persons and in no way accept the illegetimate authority of such clergy and instead seek professional counseling from a licensed therapist.
