    Not trying to come out swinging here, but do you know what intersex is?

      I guess it’s what used to be call hermaphrodite? I didn’t realize that they could reproduce, but apparently they can.

        Why do they need to be able to reproduce for their sex to count?

        They keep happening, even if they don’t have children. It’s just a fairly common mutation.

        There are plenty of genetic conditions that aren’t hereditary. Like Down’s Syndrome for instance.
