according to barum brothers circus there was one who gave birth to children.. by both of the sexes and that was in the 1930s i think .. i don't remember the name.. i would not ask her though it may be a touchy subject as i have heard that.. that is real rare that most of them are not able to have kids.. i like to look up human oddites and stuff and came accross it..

true hermaphrodites are sterile as neither sex organs are developed enough to work right. true hermaphrodites are very rare.
most likely they were born if this is true, was pseudohermaphrodite or klinefelter (sp?) where the hormones are not strong enough to convert the embryo to a male. all embryos or babies start as females. they need a big surge of male hormone to convert.
either way they most likely wouldn't want to talk about it and be quite embarrassing for you. it would most likely demolish any friendship you have.
treat her like the girl she is and be a friend. sometime there is stuff best left unknown, and this is one of them

Most, if not all, human hermaphrodites lack one completely functional set of genitals and never have both fully-functioning sets of genitals. That would mean the having children would be out of the question.

No, it is not possible according to scientists.
Please look up the many times this gets asked here each day, though it has nothing to do with LGBT issues.
There you will find the correct previous answers.

Why not.. I think you better go to a fertility clinic and seek solution.. If she produces eggs she can become a mother .Eggs can be fertilated even outside the womb.

Why on earth would you even bring up the subject? Whether she wants or can have kids is none of your business, dear heart.

My dictionary say yes.
that is = having both sexes.
an example an earthworm.
I guess it would boil down to which organ was viable or productive.
