It is possible for a human to be a true hermaphrodite. Due to a discovery in Texas in 2003, it has been proven that a single human being can possess both male and female reproductive organs inside and outside the body. It is believed that a DNA disorder called Chimerism is the source of this condition.

Hermaphroditism is rare in humans, but not unheard of. Often, the organs are not completely separated or developed, and you have one ovary and one testes or "ovo-testes" mixtures. Sometimes you have a "true" hermaphrodite with organs from both sexes present.

Hermaphrodite humans are often infertile, but not always, and it is possible for a hermaphrodite to be able to sire or bear children.

It is important to remember that each person's anatomy is unique and may not conform to traditional definitions of male or female genitalia.

No, hermaphrodites cannot fertilize each other through double penetration.
