What about hermaphrodites? Do they just pick their favorite?
The term is "intersex" (which covers a broad range of sex variation including "true hermaphroditism" though the term hermaphrodite is considered offensive when applied to a human). Typically intersex people are assigned either male or female at birth. If they are born with ambiguous genitalia, they are given surgery as infants to make them match their assigned sex (which has many negative side effects such as scarring, sterility, pain during urination/sex, and gender dysphoria). They may also be forced onto hormones to make them go through the "correct" puberty. Conservatives are generally in support of this practice, and laws that have been passed against trans healthcare have contained exceptions to allow for nonconsensual procedures on intersex children
No, "traditionally" it's picked for them right after birth.
Any surplus parts are cut off, problem solved.
