Are hermaphrodites gay?
110155
In most cases, a hermaphrodite will have one sex that is more dominant than the other.  The recessive sex organs are usually altered or removed leaving the person with only one set of sex organs.  In that case, the point of whether a hermaphorodite is gay or not depends on their choices later in life.

wow, you are asking this in biology and getting all these fruitcake religious answers? Most likely, the first sexually reproductive organisms where something akin to hermaphrodites- both "sexes" within the same organism or colony, it wasn't until later that individual organisms were expressly male or female, so, in truth, "man" and "women" really male and female, evolved concurrently.

You mean Hermaphrodites?\n\nI don't know. You could always run a Yahoo! Search, but with the SafeSearch option toggled on.

Being homosexual is having a sexual attraction to someone of the same gender.

Are the genes linked? I don't have my book with me here.\n\nIf not, mate a male with one of them. Take the male progeny from that mating and cross with the other mutant. Select hermaphrodites from the period of egg laying when the sex ratio is 1:1 (say the second 8-hour period after they're together). Allow these hermaphrodites to self and select double mutants from the progeny. I think this should do it, but you'd better draw it out.\n\nIf they're linked I think it will just be harder to find double mutant progeny in the final stage, again draw it out to check.

After reading some of the answers, there needs to be a bit of clarification.  Some men want to be, or inside feel like they were supposed to be, women--these are the transgenders or transsexuals.  They are in the process of transitioning.  In that process, they take hormones and possibly operations to give them feminine features.  Not all transsexuals make the complete change, removing their 'outboard motor' and having an 'inboard motor' installed.  Then too there are homosexuals (and not all transsexuals think of themselves as homosexuals), who not only want the feminine position in their relationships, but add a pair of embellishments that makes the matter a little confusing.  Commonly, the "shemale" is happy to have the female parts and persona while keeping the "outboard motor".  Not all who look like shemales are.

I consider myself a normal straight guy, and yes i am attracted to she-males. I`m not attracted to men in any way. I know she-males have penis`s, but I really think I could deal with that, if I ever found myself having sex with one. So I think it is normal for a guy to be attracted to a person who is sexy, attractive and obviously feminine

Earthworms are hermaphrodites.  Other types of worms look different; females tending to be larger than males, for one thing.

Transsexuals only have one type of genitalia--either the one they were born with, or the one created by sexual reassignment surgery.  You are thinking of hermaphrodites or intersexed people.

They are called "Hermaphrodytes", and they are BORN with both sex organs. They tend to have surgery to pick one or the other. They don't do surgery to give someone both sexes. \n\nLOL The "she/males" you speak of are men who want to be female, and have had breast implants, but have not yet had the "pole into a hole" surgery. So, they are a person with a penis and boobs.\n\nAre you cleared up on it now? :)

transexual women are women. that does not make you gay or them gay if they like men because they are women. even if they still have the penis it will eventually be turned into a vagina and they will be legally women as well.

lookin at your avatar & reading this question is far to sweet & innocent...hermaphrodites are human like you & I except hermaphrodites have both a vagina & a penis...some may tend to lean on one gender more than the other i.e.choosing to be more female than male(dress & look like female)...or the other way around.Hermaphrodites go through tough trials & tribulations in life in/out of family relationships due to having both sex organs...sometimes leaving them abused/molested as children many times by family members & what not.

If a man is feminine it does not necessarily make him gay. It is dangerous and inappropriate to label people without knowing the facts. Whether he is gay or straight is his business, and not that of everyone else. The fact  that he has never dated doesn't make him gay. It sounds like everyone else needs to mind their own business and quit making assumptions about things which do not concern them. \n\nIn regards to your friends assumptions, I suspect they know little about sexuality and what brings it about. This is a question that has been plaguing scientists for a very long time. As yet there is no answer, therefore whether it is a choice or not is irrelevant. My best advice is to let him come out in his own time, that is if he is gay.

A eunuch is a castrated male. A hermaphrodite is a person which can have both male and female genitals.

WOW, wayyy too detailed of a question.... not gonna answer each part of this... "how it is possible?"  I mean, how broad is that? are you looking for actual hormone and neurotransmitter names and fuctions?  too broad..\n\nbut to answer... some fish, most plants are born XXY, platyhelminthes (roundworms)  and some cestodes, specific nematodes can change their sex... I believe the Ascaris Lumbricoides is my "favorite" sex change organism... it is a hermaphrodite and impregnates itself and lays eggs by itself.. without ever seeing another Ascaris.  (human parasite)
