"Hermaphrodite" is not a very accurate term, either; it
implies that the person has full, functioning male and female
genitalia. That is almost never the case; usually, the person
will exhibit a complex of characteristics, often with one set
of traits mostly dominant. "Intersexed" is the preferred
term; it doesn't have the baggage other terms do.
*************** Gary Jenning's RAPTOR features a
hermaphrodite protagonist. A fine hardboiled epic of the
Gothic conquest of Rome.
