I highly suspect hermaphrodites are chimaeras where there a male twin absorbs a female twin or vice versa in utero at a point after the genitals are formed. I'd be interested in taking DNA samples to test whether the genitals have the same DNA or whether they have the same chromosomes. Also take DNA sample from the scalp to wee if there is a mismatch between genitals and brain.
