    Hermaphrodite is a term used to describe people with the both male and female genitals. It has basically been considered a term that is not politically correct and has basically been replaced by intersex, which simply means anyone between the two generic sexes of male and female.

    transmasculine and transfeminine I have never heard. I could only speculate that transmasculine is someone who is transitioning to male because they are masculine and transfeminine is someone who is transitioning to be female because they are feminine. I really could only guess on those ones though.

    Hopefully someone else will be more knowledgeable than I am.
