Hopefully we can get some info soon. 148.0.151.141 wrote: The correct term is an intersex person, hermaphr*dite is a medical slur You're confusing the two terms, they're not interchangable. Hermaphrodite is a term that can refer to any creature, not just humans, that can play either the "Insemenating" or "Impregnated" role in reproduction (not just having the parts: they have to both work). It requires two fully functional sets of genitalia that, on humans, is seen separatley on either sex. In fact there's debate if this even can happen in humans. However, it's been shown in plants and certain smaller animals (like snails). Intersex is a broader term exclusive to humans, that encompasses tissue and (primarily) hormonal differences from the usual XX/XY pattern. The reason I'm not saying which one I would apply to this situation is that this is mothy. For all we know this kid could be half-twin god/half-tree. Regardless I doubt that this character is either of the above, it'd be interesting (and welcome) if mothy did, but I doubt he'd take a risk like that considering alot of his audience is in China, and as mentioned by Mistress above, the misfortune of the matter is: Mistress of the heavenly yard wrote: True, and china could stop selling his stuff if he puts to many lgbt characters in it.
