What is the word for a child born with genitalia of both sexes?

The term "intersex" is the most accurate and respectful term to use when describing a child born with genitalia of both sexes. It is a general term that encompasses a wide range of variations in sex characteristics, including those involving genitalia.

It is important to note that:

* "Hermaphrodite" is an outdated and often offensive term. It is no longer considered medically or scientifically accurate.

* "Intersex" is a more accurate and respectful term that recognizes the diversity of sex characteristics that exist.

* "Disorder of sex development (DSD)" is another term that is sometimes used, but it can be seen as pathologizing a natural variation.

The best approach is to use the language that the individual prefers.
