What happens with the Olympics if you are an hermaphrodite?

Posted at: 2015-05-07 
Your parents choose for you to be a girl, can you be in the Olympics or the other way around.

Probably not. Having male parts would exclude you from competing as a woman, and the other way around. Sounds mean maybe, but it would likly never happen anyway. Less than 1% of all people would be considered hermaphrodites at birth, and the vast majority of them are going to have other defects, and congenital or genetic defects. The chance than any of them would ever be able to attain the physical fitness and athletic prowess needed to make the olympics is pretty unlikely.

If you were raised as a female, then you would have to be recognized as such. You could not use your condition to have an advantage over someone else.

You play tennis in the mixed singles competition.

Wait....What......?????
