Man Admitted to Hospital for Kidney Stone, Discovers He's a Woman
"When I was about 6 years old, I started having these feminine feelings, but that was in the '60s. Wearing my mom's makeup, I thought I looked pretty," Crecelius told ABC News.
So when he went to the emergency room five years ago, he wasn't too shocked when the nurse told him she found traits of both genders in his ultrasound results.
He was intersex, meaning he had both male genitalia and internal female sex organs.
"The nurse is reading the ultrasound and says, 'Huh, this says you're a female,' Crecelius said. "It was very liberating. I had spent so much energy after the age of 13 constantly evaluating how people looked at me and acted towards me."

the decision belongs to the person.
And they say it doesn't exist. Morons. 
Male, female, or both. 
I don't know know why this person chose to be born with both male genitalia and internal female sex organs, but I tell ya, people's acceptance of it is a threat to the sanctity of my traditional...um, organs, I guess.
Anyways, we need to get a constitutional amendment in place pronto, as a bulwark against the hermaphrodite agenda!
but that was in the '60s. Wearing my mom's makeup, I thought I looked pretty,"
I understand that Ms. Crecelius is regarded as an intersex person, due to her condition of having both male and female genitalia.
However, the types of feelings expressed in the subject line of this post are extremely common among transsexual persons also. The brain is generally believed to be the organ that interprets "feelings". So, what I'm wondering here is, why is it only that having the genitalia of both genders determines that a person is intersex? Why is brain structure not considered as a possible marker for determining a person to be intersex?
In the first of its kind, Zhou et al. (1995) found that in a region of the brain called the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BSTc), a region known for sex and anxiety responses, MTF transsexuals have a female-normal size while FTM transsexuals have a male-normal size. While the transsexuals studied had taken hormones, this was accounted for by including non-transsexual male and female controls which, for a variety of medical reasons, had experienced hormone reversal. The controls still retained sizes typical for their gender. No relationship to sexual orientation was found.[20]
In a followup study, Kruijver et al. (2000) looked at the number of neurons in BSTc instead of volumes. They found the same results as Zhou et al. (1995), but with even more dramatic differences. One MTF subject who had never gone on hormones was also included, and who matched up with the female neuron counts nonetheless.[21]
In 2002, a followup study by Chung, De Vries, and Swaab found that significant sexual dimorphism (variation between sexes) in BSTc did not become established until adulthood. Chung et al. theorized that either changes in fetal hormone levels produce changes in BSTc synaptic density, neuronal activity, or neurochemical content which later lead to size and neuron count changes in BSTc, or that the size of BSTc is affected by the failure to generate a gender identity consistent with one's anatomic sex.[22]
In a review of the evidence in 2006, Gooren confirms the earlier research as supporting the concept that transsexualism is a sexual differentiation disorder of the sex dimorphic brain.[23] Swaab (2004) concurs.[24]
