A Hermaphrodite/Intersexual is someone that is born with both genders. Well that isn't exactly true.  Intersexuals is the appropriate name for an hermaphrodite seeing how no hermaphrodite born to our knowledge has working have both working genitalia like the worm does.  An Intersexual can be born with one of two workig genitalia with the other dormant.  Also as would happen they can also have all of one physically showing genitalia without the other and still be an hermaphrodite/intersexual because of gentic coding be of the opposite gender than what their physical appearance shows.  So it could look like a woman but have male XX chromosomes instead of the female XY and same goes for the male.  He could have all male genitalia but be coded with a females chromosomes instead.

This actually puts them in a neutral catagory defying the ideas of males and females being the only true nature and order of things that God/Goddess intended if you are a believer in God/Goddess or whatever.  Which only opens up a can of worms for the gays and lesbians.

Cool suff huh.

Although believed to be quite few in numbers, hermaphrodites/intersexuals aren’t as rare as most would like to believe. I was told by a fellow nurse, who use to work along side of me long time ago, that she said she had known many hemaphrodites in her work. I even know of one or was told of one on my father’s side of the family. I thought it was cool.

These people are not gay, bisexual, or lesbian. They literally born with both genders (male and female). I like to think of them as neutral in gender. This should make us rethink what we call the natural order of things. I have heard this term used often when discussing same sex rights. Nature makes men, women, and hermaphrodites. I have even seen animals in same sex relationships. Humans are just animals no matter how you look at it.

Because hermaphrodites are different, they end up being forced to choose a gender, or their parents feel so awkward about the child not having a specific gender that at the time of birth, they will choose for the child. Could you imagine the child growing up wandering why he or she was having feelings about a guy even though he was a guy or a girl even though she was a girl. I am not saying this is were same sex couples come from, but for that small tiny few that had their genders chosen for them, I could imagine this happening. Or maybe the hemaphrodite might have feelings for both sexes.

These people are not monsters. They are different, and forcing them to choose one gender or the other is wrong. I haven’t seen one document or form that offered hermaphrodite as one of the genders. I really think even though they are so few that it should go on forms, documentations, and or IDs.  There is more than two categories. Hermaphrodites should be given an equal voice in the world. We need to let the world know of their existance by placing them on forms, documentations, and or IDs. No placement in our forms, documentations, and or IDs do they get any recognition of existance, but they do exist.  yet everyone would rather pretend that they don't and that they can't and don't happen in Humans.  The biggest problem is that they do happen.  They are born. 

I find the lack of knowledge of hermaphrodites to sinful and wrong.  Why must humans hide everything in existance that scares them?  Why must they lock the things away that terrify them?  Why do they destroy things that they do not understand?  Why do they push things that they fear and can't explain under the rug or throw it out like yesterdays trash? The God/Goddess/whatever made them just like it made all humans, all creatures, and all things great and small, just the way it wanted that person to be made and fooling around with its anatomy is as wrong and/or denying its existance is just as wrong. Forcing them to change their anatomy is just as wrong as everyone makes it out for a person who already has a single gender.  If it is wrong to change a single gendered persons gender, then why isn't it wrong to force these people to choose.  They were born this way.  I actually understand if you want to change genders or if someone chose one gender over another, but to be forced to choose whether you are female or male or to be forced to stay one gender or the other whether or not they want to be such--these things are most assuredly wrong, because it goes against their nature of what they need.  People whose genders were chosen for them at birth may not have wanted that as their gender, but they will never have that chance to say so.  People get upset when a person changes from a female to a male or a male to a female. Why isn’t anyone getting mad about people forcing these people to choose a gender discarding the extra gender it was given? It shouldn’t matter if one gender is more promenant than the other or not. I think we as humans are jealous (scared even) that they have no true gender, because they could go either way and we can’t. To bad people can’t accept that hermaphrodite are as natural as males and females.

Why doesn’t the scriptures of old mention them? It is because people were just as fearful of their existance as they are now.

Some people may not share in my opinion on this because these people can discard one gender or the other, but I find it a little ironic, if you think about it Proposition 8 and laws like it have made it illegal for hermophidites to marry because they are both male and female. Because of Proposition 8 and laws like it, legally they, technically, can’t or shouldn’t be able to marry a man because they are male even though others would argue that all they have to do is discard one or the other gender to be legal. (Why should they have to do that?. To make people who are homophobic happy?) Because of Proposition 8 and laws like it, they, technically, can’t or shouldn’t be able to legally marry a woman because they are female. Techically it could be counted as a same sex marriage. However, they aren’t gay or lesbian either. All Proposition 8 did was force one of God/Goddess/Whatever’s creation to go against its design.

Humans are such evil creatures. We use logic to reason why we should be allowed to hate or be afraid of things. We allow our so called logic to intrude where it shouldn’t. I don’t believe in marriage really, because when Christ was on earth he was asked who would be married to a woman if she had had several prior husbands. His response was that no one, because there would be no marriage in heaven that we would be as angels. I sincerely believe that hermaphrodites are as close to angels as we will get here on earth. Maybe gays and lesbians are too. I also do not oppose marriage seeing how men and women have been getting married since the dawn of time. At least that is what the sacred written texts of countless religions say and teach. Whether it did or not you still need two different genders to create life, however a true hermaphrodite would only need another true hermaphrodite.  An example of a true hermaphrodite is the worm.

Most hermaphrodite as we are told they are not true hermaphrodites, because one of the two gender based organs are usually nonoperatable. This doesn’t mean they aren’t an hermaphrodites, and should be forced to get rid of the unneeded part. The fact that they are what they are goes to show an important point. The point is that it isn’t just male and female in the human world. It is male, female, and hermaphrodite in the human world and we don’t give the hermaphrodite enough credit as they should get.

I find it a shame that they are barely even known about. To bad we let so many things scare us, that we can’t let that which is different than us alone. Sure they could rid themselves of one appendage or the other in order to fit the hetrosexuals idea of normal, but that won’t make them any less male or female than the cosmetic surgery that changes a man to a woman or a woman to a man. Looks like those who are afraid of same sex marriage might have even further fears than anyone ever realised.

As a Reverand ordained through the Universal Life Church, I don’t teach just one doctrin. I teach many (Christianity, Tao, Hindu, Buddhism, Wicca, etc). I believe that the texts we use were written by the hands of humans and that humans are falible. However, the true text of the Divine is written in our hearts, and we choose to ingnore it sometimes as all children do.
