The term "hermaphrodite" refers to an organism that possesses both male and female reproductive organs. In humans, the term is considered outdated and inaccurate, as individuals with both male and female physical characteristics are typically referred to as intersex. Intersex individuals may have variations in sex chromosomes, hormone levels, or reproductive anatomy that do not fit typical definitions of male or female. It is important to use respectful and accurate language when discussing intersex variations.
