    The correct answer is d. In modern times, the term "transvestite" signifies a man who dresses up and/or acts like a woman, or a woman who dress up and/or acts like a man. This term can have very negative connotations. Currently, we use the word "intersex" to describe someone who has both male and female genitalia.
