hermaphroditic
Having dual sexes
Hermaphroditic describes an organism possessing both male and female reproductive organs.
Many plants, earthworms, and snails are hermaphroditic.
The term extends figuratively to anything combining two distinct natures: The building's hermaphroditic style mixed Gothic and Modernist elements.
In technical contexts, hermaphroditic connectors can mate with identical copies of themselves.
