No. Approximately one infant out of 10,000 is born with "indeterminate" genitalia. Traditionally, these problems were corrected surgically at birth. It is becoming increasingly common in first world countries to allow the infant to mature before making a gender determination, but the overwhelming majority eventually identify as either male or female. True hermaphrodites, persons with organs and characteristics of both sexes, are exceedingly rare.
