J'ai quelques termes un peu osés dont je ne connais pas la signification.

Shemal, est-ce un travesti, un transsexuel ?

hermaphrodite

Hermaphrodite:

An individual having the reproductive organs and many of the secondary sex characteristics of both sexes.

The American Heritage® Stedman's Medical Dictionary

> hermaphrodite
(adjectif et nom commun)
Etre vivant qui possède les organes reproducteurs des deux sexes.

Your choice would depend, I guess, on what kind the text your are working on has.

The term is used when both characteristics are present at birth. If the second \'set\' is acquired later through and operation, then the other terms are more to the point.
Peer comment(s):
