On the terminology note, some hermaphrodites do not like the term "intersex" and prefer "disorders of sex development." Meanwhile, others prefer "hermaphrodite" or "intersex" as the biological or technical terms.
I remember when Jamie Lee Curtis was rumored to be a hermaphrodite. That tends to happen with people (particularly women) who are falsely labeled as androgynous because they don't have the (stereo)typical masculine or feminine traits.
