 What Is Hermaphrodite?
Allah
has made couple of each creation, As in Quran.
Night
for the day, winter for the summer, all the living creatures possess couples of
same type. In actual even in a single body one can find the couples. Like for
instance: one leg is the couple of second leg, one arm of the other, one eye of
the other eye, brain has two major hemi- spheres called cerebrum etc.
As far
as gender is concerned in simple words it is the second side of a mirror. It means
different genders don’t exist, however; the dis-similarity is due to the modification
in a single gender that happens naturally. A baby in the form of fetus in side
the mother’s womb initially doesn’t possess differentiation of sex. As per
program fed in the gene code of chromosomes, this undetermined zygote either
starts to become male or female. The determination depends upon the chromosomes
of sperm. If Y comes in contact with the X chromosome of ovum, a male baby
would be created.
During
the development, a fetus possesses initially both the characteristics of male
and female. When the program of sex determination starts, one characteristic
gets dominance over the other one. Human are not bi-sexual normally, and male
and female exists separately unlike some animals that possess bi-sexual
characteristics. Therefore; a baby either grow up as a male or a female
according to the chromosomal program, but the thing to be remembered is that a
baby possesses characteristics of both male and female one dominated over the
other.
In
virtual sense we can say that a human is a bisexual creature, since it possesses
the characteristics of both genders. This is the favor of nature that at any
stage the dominancy of one gender characteristics never be overcome by the
other. Hence the gender of a man or a woman remains patent though out the life.
We have
had few incidences in the past that showed that gender of a man or a woman changed.
That had happened due to some fault at the program level in chromosomes. The suppressed
characteristics of one gender hidden in an individual over comes the
characteristics of the other gender suddenly.
True
Hermaphrodites or bisexuals (Hijras) are those who unfortunately during uterine
development failed to have had proper differentiations of these gender
characteristics and hence neither of the gender got dominance over the other.
In normal
circumstances it is usually happens that during intra uterine life when one
gender over comes the other, the respective organs belongs to that
characteristics grow up while the organs of the other gender that had become suppressed
got regressed. Like in a male baby penis develops and vagina would be
regressed. If female would be born, the penis shrinks to form clitoris.
In
hermaphrodites, however due to lack of this differentiation both of the organs
could be present in a single individual and neither of any one would be
regressed. There are many forms of hermaphrodites which are on the basis of
congenital anomalies. Some of them possess full bisexual characteristics, while
some get slight touch of other gender with the dominance of his or her own
gender.
Truly
speaking, hermaphroditism is a natural abnormal phenomenon and beyond the
control of human beings.
