About shemales...?
I asked if shemales were born that way (with the male organ), and some guy said yes, they are called homorphokites. however, i googled that, and can't find it at ALL! Did he mispell it? (That was q1) If you don't know the answer to the above, can you answer this: if there is a such thing as a woman born that way, how rare is it? and how likely is it that a Christian family would have a child that is a shemale? (she acts and looks like a female, but one can't tell what her organ looks like bc you can't see it... obviusly)

What you are asking about is a hermaphrodite. It is a person that is born with both male and female sex organs, called gonadal dysgenesis. It occurs in about 1% of mammals, and it is extremely rare that both sets of organs are functional. Since the discovery of the DNA molecule, all hermaphrodites tested so far have tested genetically female. In the past, doctors didn't know how to determine gender, so whichever set of sex organs were least predominant were removed at birth. A Christian family would have the same likelihood as anyone else (a 1% chance) of having a child with gonadal dysgenesis.

Q1: Hermaphrodite: either animal (humans included) or plant with reproductive organs of both sexes present. It is a rare condition for humans and is caused by chromosomal abnormality.
Q2: If the child was raised as a boy, that child will behave like a boy would; likewise, if the child was raised as a girl, the child will behave like a girl would.
Q3: It does not matter what the religious background of the family is; having a child with hermaphrodism is as rare as having a child with fused fingers (syndactylism) instead of regular hands.

!es is does happen, I know of a person like this. It was born with both parts below and was all male above. It had a rough life growing up. It publicly announced the issue and that it was not sure what it wanted to be, so it experimented with different appearances and relations of both sexes. As an adult it became and has remained a surgically altered female.

Yes, mispelled it. It's HERMAPHRODITE. I believe that's the correct spelling. That's a person, male or female, born with both male&female genetalia.
