In recent years the term hermaphrodite applied to humans has fallen out of favor since there have been no identified cases of a human reproducing as both male and female, with some biologists saying hermaphroditism cannot occur in humans.

Can humans be hermaphroditism?

Intersex conditions are sometimes also referred to as disorders of sexual development (DSDs). Such conditions are extremely rare in humans. In ovotesticular disorder (sometimes also called true hermaphroditism), an individual has both ovarian and testicular tissue.

Can humans be Autofertile?

There is no such case reported (in humans) in medical literature. However, autofertilization was reported in mammals. Thus, this (self-fertilization) may be possible in humans, too.
