What about people born XXY? Hermaphrodites? They have both male and female sexual equipment. Are they allowed to pick and choose which sex they want to marry, or are we going to classify them as either male or female? Or because they are part male, part female, anybody they marry would be considered a same sex marriage.

"What about people born XXY? Hermaphrodites? They have both male and female sexual equipment."


Gosh, if they're born XXY (called Turner's Disease, if I recall correctly from my ninth grade biology class almost 20 years ago) I don't know how the courts would interpret it. But that's what, like 100 people nationwide who are XXY and live to adulthood? (If I'm way off here, please enlighten me.)

As for having both male and female "equipment," that doesn;t necessarily mean they have both male and female DNA. I would look at the DNA, not anything else.
