Hermaphrodism refers to an individual (or species) such as the Tholians, which has two or more sexual characteristics or biological functions combined. Unlike the androgynous, hermaphrodites have the capability of being male or female during a sexual process, or undergoing a functional transformation from one gender to another.

- In the Star Trek: New Frontier novel series, the Hermat species is described as also having this type of sexual makeup.
