Tractus de Hermaphrodites - Or, A Treatise of Hermaphrodites by Giles Jacob
page 36 of 47 (76%)
Girls, but are really Boys. These seem to Change Sexes, and in time come
to be Men, and Marry, and get Children. The natural and genital Heat
increasing daily, pushes out the privy Parts about the Age of fifteen,
twenty, or twenty five, 'till which time they lie hidden. These must be
at full Age before they are able to Caress a Woman; and where after the
coming out or the privy Parts they Copulate, it will be a hard matter
for them to Engender, being in their Nature Cold.

As the Intelligence wants Matter for the Forming of the privy Parts of
the three first sorts of Hermaphrodites, so there is more than there is
occasion for in the fourth. About the forty fifth Day, the Intelligence
being at a loss how to place the Matter it has receiv'd for the Amorous
Parts, determines at last to make the _Clotoris_ bigger and longer than
ordinary, and to leave to the inward genital Parts of a Girl a natural
Figure, that they may one Day serve for Generation. These sorts of
Hermaphrodites as I have already observ'd, have frequently pass'd for
Men, being in reality nothing but Women.

But in short, the Intelligence must accomplish its Work, of what Matter
soever it be; it begins to work, and will without doubt make Parts in
some measure determin'd to either Sex, provided the matter be not so
unequal, and of such a different Complexion as to make it impossible to
effect it, when it Forms an Hermaphrodite, and sometimes a Monster that
is neither Man nor Woman, as having no privy Parts, either of the one or
the other.
