Hermaphrodites have both male and female characteristics, which both emerge at the appropriate times. Intersex is the accurate name because neither sex's reproductive organs have fully developed in humans. Therefore, there are no hermaphrodite people. Humans exhibit pseudohermaphroditism, a condition in which a person possesses both male and female external genitalia at the same time. In real hermaphrodites, the male develops when the organism requires a male gamete, and it switches its gender when it requires a female gamete, but this does not happen in humans.
