A member asked:
Is it possible for one person to possess both female and male genitalia?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Rare: The condition you are asking about is called hermaphrodite. These people have both female and male genitalia. It is extremely rare. In my 35 years of practice I have never seen a person with this condition.
