An alternative term for hermaphroditism

An intersexual or intersex person (or organism of any unisexual species) is one who is born with genitalia and/or secondary sex characteristics determined as neither exclusively male nor female, or which combine features of the male and female sexes. The terms hermaphrodite and pseudohermaphrodite, introduced in the 19th century, are now considered antiquated, misleading and stigmatizing, and patient advocates call for these terms to be abandoned.Intersex Society of North America (May 24, 2006). http://www.isna.org/faq/hermaphrodite Is a person who is intersex a hermaphrodite?
