Reordered a bit.

A '''hermaphrodite''' is an animal or plant having both male and female [[reproductive organs]]. Often, one or both sets of organs are non-functional, and hermaphroditism is considered a [[birth defect]], which can be caused by abuses of [[alcohol]] or [[drugs]] during [[pregnancy]]. The abnormality in humans occurs at exceedingly rare interval; the individuals in question are generally not able to reproduce through [[sexual intercourse]].

[[Sigmund Freud]] held that all people were hermaphrodites while in the [[womb]], and that this stage affected human [[psychology]] permanently.  This view is contradicted by modern medical understanding of the process, however, where [[ultrasound]]s clearly indicate just one sex of the [[fetus]].

The word 'hermaphrodite' comes from the Greek mythological god Hermaphroditus whose own name was derived from his (in Greek mythology Hermaphroditus was originally born male but was then later cursed into a combined male/female form) parents, [[Hermes]] and [[Aphrodite]].

[[Christianity]] teaches that all can be saved through Christ. Doctors can often perform operations shortly after birth to correct the child to the intended gender and most hermaphrodites will then lead perfectly normal lives in Christ.

There is no [[Darwin]]ian reason for human hermaphrodites to exist, since hermaphrodism does not provide any reproductive or survival benefits. Human hermaphrodites therefore provide yet another challenge to Darwin's theories, often explained away by evolutionists as an "unfavorable" [[mutation]], yet they are unable to explain its repeated occurrence over the ages.
