What does the obstetrician/midwife say when a hermaphrodite is born?

Question

Well, human hermaphrodites (called pseudohermaphrodites) do exist. It's rare, but it is out there. Fortunately I have not yet come across any :-)

So what then, does the obstetrician/midwife say when a hermaphrodite is born? You can't say "it's a boy" and you can't say "it's a girl"...I wonder if they cover this in school?

Answer 1

They might not know that its both and would say the first gender that the baby appears to be which would most likely be a boy.
