My girl is taking a class in sexauality and she was talking bout chick-dudes that are born with both sex organs at birth ( I mean that there's a noodle and slot) and she said that both organs "work" and i was wondering if that's possible???? gross....but possible? I asked her if "it" bent the noodle back and jammed it into "it's" slot could "it" impreginate itself? we asked friends but some said it was possible and others said otherwise...?

Humans are not hermaphrodites, as in, they cannot reproduce asexually. They are not he/she's. They are humans. Doctors often label these people intersexes. But, this is just a label put onto natural human bodies.
I am the Co-Director of Intersexes Are Human. Link below. If you honestly want to know more about this stuff, you are welcome to stop by.
I only ask that you take responsibility for the language that you use such as "gross" language erases bodies, creates invisable minorities, shames people to suicide, disadvantages humans, and attempts to justify the unequal distribution of resources..
Also, language like "gross" helps to perpetuate a system which allows intersex genital mutilation (about 5 children a Day in the US have their genitals mutilated with devistating, and often painful consequences...)
about 1/60 people has biological traits that the medical community could lable intersex, about 1/100 are actively labeled intersex. How many people do you know? How many people do you know that doctors could have labeled intersex that would be ashamed to ever tell you because you use words like "gross" when describing certain natural human bodies? Perhaps a family member, or a best friend, or a teacher, or a partner... ambiguous genitals is not the only trait that doctors label intersex... Your language could really be harming people that you love.. Your language harms people that I love...
My partner was labeled intersex by doctors. Ze has been through hell and back because ze believed that something was wrong with zir body, because people said things like "gross"
Words are never neutral. They are powerful.

Usually not. The term is hermaphrodite. Usually the hermaphrodite has actual reproductive organs of a male or female and just the outside/visual semblance of the other sex. So the hermaphrodite may have a penis, but no sperm, or sperm but no eggs. I can't recall a case where the person had operating reproductive organs of both sexes. It's not *impossible* but neither is having a kid with four eyes instead of two.

OMG...can I just say that I read your question and nearly inhaled my Coke from laughing? Not because it was stupid...but because of the thought of chick-dudes.
We learned about this in my Health class. People like that don't exactly have the full equipment, if you know what I mean. So their "noodle" would be kinda short and their uterus would not be fertile. If they could do that, then they would be asexual.

Please look at the dozens of other times this question has been asked by using the "search for questions" bar.
No, it is not possible. In a hermaphrodite (the word I think you were looking for) one or both of the sets of organs is non-functional.

No, it wouldn't.
While they may have what appears to be two sets of sex organs, they won't have both ovaries AND testes.

That would be different. I have never heard of that being true.
