True hermaphroditism
True intersex is a medical term for an intersex condition in which an individual is born with ovarian and testicular tissue.
There may be an ovary underneath one testicle or the other, but more commonly one or both gonads is an ovotestis containing both types of tissue.
Although similar in some ways to mixed gonadal dysgenesis, the conditions can be distinguished histologically.
==Etymology==

According to Ovid, he fused with the nymph Salmacis resulting in one individual possessing physical traits of both sexes;〔Ovid, Metamorphoses, Book IV: The story of Hermaphroditus and Salmacis.〕 according to the earlier Diodorus Siculus, he was born with a physical body combining both sexes.〔(Diodorus Siculus — Book IV Chapters 1–7 )〕 The word ''hermaphrodite'' entered the English lexicon in the late fourteenth century.〔''Oxford English Dictionary'', 1st edn, s.v. ''hermaphrodite, n. and adj.''; (【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=hermaphrodite )〕
