Their genitals might not match their reproductive organs, or they may have traits of both.

A term that describes people who are born with both male and female characteristics
Intersex people cannot be strictly categorized as either male or female. Intersex people can exhibit traits from both sexes including mixed gonadal tissue or ambiguous genitalia but do not usually possess fully formed sets of functioning male and female reproductive organs simultaneously. Hermaphroditism, the condition of having both male and female reproductive organs In humans, conditions that involve discrepancies between external genitalia and internal reproductive organs are described by the term ‘intersex.’
