There are two types of hermaphrodite, True and Pseudo. Pseudo-Hermaphroditism This is when an embryo received too much or too little of the androgens it required to develop its sexual organs properly and as a result forms something in the middle of going to the complete wrong gender. Genetics is the definition of gender but appearance of sexual organs is affected by these hormones. These hermaphrodites are infertile as they will possess one type of sexual tissue (testicles or ovaries) but will not have the correct sexual organs (penis or uterus) to facilitate its use. True-Hemaphroditism This is VERY rare indeed and it is where a person has both sexual tissues within their body. I am afraid I can offer no explanation for this type but perhaps someone can. I do know however that it is still impossible for the person to impregnate themselves.

All hermaphrodites are different. Some have male organs on the outside but female on the inside etc. So if the person have a penis, prostate and testis and produce sperm there a chance.

No they can't because their organs are not fully mature.

Nature has safety valves. Most people like this are sterile, they can have children by adoption.
