... If someone has both male and female parts, they need to pray and choose one.
Intersex (formerly called hermaphrodites) describes a person with both or indistinct genitalia. Intersex individuals might be considered transgendered only if they choose to be the opposite gender from that which they were assigned at birth.
Transgender usually describes an individual with distinctly male or female anatomy, but who expresses their gender as androgenous, or opposite of their birth sex. Transgender covers a broad range of divergance from "normal" gender expression, including crossdressers, transsexuals, etc.
Most people are understanding / accepting of Intersex persons because it is clearly a condition that one is born with. However, many people do not accept Transgender persons because it doesn't have the same clear physical evidence as a condition one is born with. However, there is growing medical evidence that transsexuals are born that way.
