She is a hermaphrodite - not transgendered.

One is physical, one is in your head.

But I am interested, does anyone know whether hermaphrodites are genetically male or female? How does this work?

If she has mosaicism there will be some genes of each type.
It is a complex condition.

Hermaphrodites have both genitalia - in some cases one or the other not as developed. According to my Mom, a 91 year old retired RN, before more sophisticated testing, doctors made the determination based on the appearance of the genitalia. So genetic girls could end up as guys and vice versa. Now, they can look at the chromosomes and determine the sex of the child. Though who knows how that would work these days with the “I’ve always wanted a boy, a girl, a ???”
