For those of you who never took basic Biology, those are people who were born with ambiguous genitals/chromosomes. It's much more complicated than that, but I only have so many characters to work with.
dé ƒåç†ø-...what are you talking about?
I am so confused by de facto's statements..
 
Your arrogance is palpable.
[edit]
Did I "jump the gun"?
Please forgive me if I did, I meant no offense.
 
I honestly had no idea, so I had to do a little research, but it seems that in Islam, an intersex person is to be treated as a female by males and as a male by females until he/she reaches maturity, at which point he/she is considered to be of whichever gender is more preponderant physiologically. If he/she is absolutely neutral physiologically he/she can simply choose which gender to be. An operation is recommended to clarify gender. Once the person has been determined to be male or female, he/she may marry. I assume the spouse would have to be notified before the marriage or this would be grounds for divorce, but I haven't seen any discussion of that aspect.
 
A person can't help how they were born. None of those three religions would shun a person for the way they were born, anymore than if they were born with extra toes or a cleft palate.
 
you need to ask this or someone who has a lot more theological training than me. I would suggest asking RC Sproul's ministry - I think it's called ligonier ministries but I don't know how it is spelled.

but to my knowledge it isn't talked about any - and there isn't anything that I'm aware of. I would suggest asking people who have studied the Bible more than me.

I just don't think it was an issue at that time, and I just don't know.

but honestly I imagine it would be very hard to be an intersex or a hermaphrodite
