By the way, I used the noun ,hermaphodite, because it is the noun with the closest meaning to discribe a child born with sexual characteristics of both male and female genitalia.

Wrong again, genitalia characteristics are either male, female or ambiguous. A hermaphrodite means having functioning reproductive organs in plants and microorganisms and has nothing to do with humans. You’re generalizing a great multitude of syndromes into one neat little package to promote your transsexual agenda.

[Paul C. Jesup]

I said the CLOSEST noun. I do NOT say the EXACT noun.

"Wrong again, genitalia characteristics are either male, female or ambiguous. A hermaphrodite means having functioning reproductive organs in plants and microorganisms and has nothing to do with humans."

You're wrong, Clint. "Hermaphrodite" has been used in medical terminology for over 100 years to describe a wide array of human conditions. The following is just one of 1000's of such articles found in medical journals:

P&S Medical Review: August 1996, Vol.3, No.2
True Hermaphroditism: Considerations in the Management of Patients Presenting in Early and Adult Life

Abstract

A twenty-seven year old man with penoscrotal hypospadias and unilateral undescended gonad was diagnosed with lateral true hermaphroditism during an evaluation for infertility. Phenotype male true hermaphrodites seldom present in adult life, and rarely for infertility. This case illustrates how diagnosis and treatment may be delayed until a significant personal event, such as infertility, prompts medical evaluation.

The term is going out of style in favor of "intersexed," but it's still commonly used. Some hermaphrodites find it offensive, others don't give a toot. You can find the rest of the article at Hermaphrodite

You're also dead wrong about nearly everything else you been pontificating on. Attending physicians have been "assigning" sex to babies based on penis size and shape since the first part of the 20th century. Boys with penises less than 1 inch were routinely whacked and raised as girls. Parents were counseled that it was best for the child. A mind-boggling array of genital malformities in boys received similar attention. (Current wisdom is slowly turning away from these practices. It's about time.) Furthermore, there is no such thing as the "gender one is born with" you tout in post #100. I hate to pop your bubble, but intersexuality is a real live human condition and some people just don't fit neatly into your little black & white, male & female world-view.
