yeah, theres getting close to 7,000,000,0000 now....So many people have swallowed their pride for the sake of science, in hopes to better it for good. It is pretty amazing that out of the few thousand herm's that none of them are interested in helping science, which could potentially help them in return.

It's possible though, that the mix of estrogen and testosterone at such a young age when puberty strikes, could have a pretty devastating effect. Im really not that keen on my knowledge of biology. So i don't even know if estrogen and testosterone would co-exist like I am thinking they would.

Also, I can imagine that would be fairly traumatizing for a child. When a child is traumatized, and it is severe enough....mentally they stay in the same state of mind they were in when it happened. Which would keep them from being rational enough to understand the importance of their contribution.

I don't know how traumatizing it would be since the child was born that way. But I do know that in psychology 302 we discussed post-birth operations that change the original sex of the child to appear like the sex of it's opposite. Because the genitalia is too deformed to serve any purpose to that child. And they found that the children had horrible developmental problems because of the lack of testosterone and estrogen.....even though they never had any idea they were different. and even though they originally accepted they were normal, once they found out they were different, they were completely devestated.

being a hermaphrodite is obviously not the same, it's closer to being opposite. But they are most likely very similair in the sense that they could both potentially have extreme mind altering consequences.


Very interesting topic though. I wish I knew more about biology and anotomy.
