James, interesting you would bring this up. I just saw a special the other day that talked about the number of hermaphrodites that are misgendered because they were given the wrong surgery as a baby. Usually because the parents wanted them to be a certain sex and they wouldn't wait until the child began to show his or her's natural tendencies.

But to answer your question, if they still had both organs, I doubt if they would qualify in an case. And for those who had an organ removed--how would they know?


BTW Axeam, I think the war in Iraq, the prevalence of drugs and violence, and the increase in hate speech and crime are a greater indicator of what the world is coming to than trans in the Olympics.
