It's important to note that intersex people are a widely medically recognized category of anatomical abnormalities where for whatever reason the sexual characteristics are genuinely not a clean male/female. The poor souls that end up with ovotestes have absolute hell in puberty because they literally have both sets of hormones going off. Because the long list of medical conditions combined end up a shockingly wide net, the estimates get as high as 1.7% despite only 0.05% having mixed or ambiguous genitalia.
The very tiny group with degrees of outright hermaphroditism defeat the argument that classifying the disorders as "intersex" and openly identifying as such ought to be a mental illness. They're hormone disorders, they actually alter your bone structure, they include XY females who go on to be mothers with statistically strange but very much non-zero fertility.
I think it rather matters here what the actual wording of the Peruvian ruling is, as distinct from English-language hearsay about it.
While there exists a small percentage of people with gender issues that have an actual physical bases, that should really not be conflated with, or used as an excuse for, the transtrender crowd.

True hermaphrotditism does not exist in all of Mammalia and is vanishingly rare in amoung Cordates for that matter. Its mainly found in mollusks and plants.

Fully functional "true" hermaphroditism has not been found in Mammalia, but the term does get used in zoological and medical literature up, some of which actually have both an ovary and a testicle with all the connective structures. They fail to be "true" hermaphrodites because the hormone situation has yet to leave both functional, not because it is fully anatomically impossible for humans to have all required structures of both sexes physically in proper order.
Sure, that level of near-miss is one in tens if not hundreds of millions, but when you're defining things for universal use a single exception contradicting the definition is a problem. And the reason "intersex" became the standard is the same ideological back-end the genderspecials come from getting pissy about using "hermaphrodite" for it, let alone the "true" or "false" distinction.
Plants technically are not hermaphrodite at all - they are something quite different, with the only similar thing in animals being in certain types of jellyfish or the like.
To oversimplify greatly - land plants have a lifecycle that goes between sexual and non-sexual individuals. In animal terms, think of it as a male and a female mating, and the offspring being a neuter that itself then reproduces by spores - which then grow into more males and females.
But yes - a mammal with both male and female reproductive organs - that actually work? Nope. The hormones would interfere with each other for one thing. And it's the same embryonic parts the develop either into male or female genitals - depending on those chemical signals.

No. The difference between hermaphrodite and intersex is functionality. Intersex is an anatomical defect that shows traits of both sexes, but not the functionality of both sexes. Many intersex birth defects lead to complete infertility. A hermphrodite has the full functionality of both sexes. The gender ideologues try to claim that intersex birth defects are a form of hermiphroditism, which is false.
And most people would still belive in that lie,thanks to media.But - i praise you for doing good work here.Even if it change little to notching.
What she means is that she wants to get pregnant by Mr Thug-Chad, who will use her and leave her... and then go find Mr Beta Provider, who did not father that child, and get him to financially support her and her bastard offspring.
