True Hermaphroditism

True Hermaphroditism is a disease in which a person is born with both male and female reproductive organs. Hermaphrodites are usually born with smaller and not completely formed genitals and reproductive organs. In earlier years, doctors and parents would guess at which gender the child should be raised which would be very confusing to the child and often times the opposite gender was dominant in the child. Nowadays, they do DNA testing to determine which gender is dominant in the child; however, it doesn't really take away the feelings of confusion and embarrassment for the individual.
