Default a questions about hermaphrodites in Islam?

My question is, if a hermaphrodites who is born with a penis and develops breasts later on in life, choose to be a male and not cut off his breast but he feels attracted to males, is that acceptable in Islam, i only ask because it seems dangerously close to homosexuality. I'm just asking because it seems that hermaphrodites are the exception in the gender spectrum.

Unless you're American or Jew, males should not date males and females should not date females. It's the law of nature.

In this case there will be a Mufti (Jurist) to decide whether he/her is more female or more male. If he/her is more male he will either marry another hermaphrodite or...a woman, and vice verse (if he/her is more female she will marry another like her or a man, of course).

A hermaphrodite is never equally balanced on the razor-sharp line between male and female. The final thing that decides it is the maturity of its sexual organs, structurally and functionally.

The rest of the tendencies are due to hormonal imbalance which is easy to correct with medication. It is a simple course of action to strengthen the maturer side and weaken the other one.

P.S.
Breasts are secondary. They can be grown and they can be shrunk using hormones in medication. Cutting them off is stupid.

Well in the case of hermaphrodites, your either closer to 1 gender or another its not 50/50.

Most Sunnis think that their ignorant Muftis are God.

Allah knows.

in shariah, if he has a womb then he is female, meaning his female hormones are present which is why he is attracted to males. he shouldn't have chosen to be male because homosexuality is ha ram.

Primarily, the hermaphrodites are not like what you described.

The Klinefelter Syndrome, that you seem to be confusing there is actually a male who develops breasts, but then, the sexual organs in all Hermaphrodites are dual [female with male appendages] and the treatment can be effected from an early stage of Testosterone, for example, to replace the missing chromosomes and bring the man back to balance so that with a few surgical corrections, he can lead a normal life. However, the patient will be infertile, though otherwise a functional male.

Quite incidentally enough, a recent case of a hermaphrodite who was treated for the disability in India successfully was a Muslim called Ali, son of Zubeda. Naturally, the details of the family were not provided to protect their privacy.

One thing that you must appreciate is that this is a congenital condition and is not incurable.

There is no "cutting off of the breasts", because the hormonal treatment and corrective surgery is done at a very young age.

Kindly educate yourself from the links below.

I don't care to go into the "Religious" implications of this matter because it's irrelevant to the issue. This is another disease which has a cure and it is ridiculous to ask what some out of date book has to say about it.

Sorry if it hurts that I'm being straightforward, but, these things are a harrowing experience for the victims, many of whom are abandoned in their infancy and live their entire lives as beggars and outcasts just because of general ignorance; which is not an amusing thing.

I do wish that people would also refrain from making ridiculous statements like there are no Muslims like that. There have been, are and will continue to be many Muslim bastards, hermaphrodites and homosexuals [of both kinds]; as much as we would find them in any other "Religious" group. It's absolutely ridiculous to say that believing in some fairy tale will make them any different to others.
