repuce. She had a vulva with two well-shaped labia as shown by
the accompanying illustration. She menstruated slightly and had an
opening at the root of the clitoris. The parotid region showed signs of
a beard and she had hair on her upper lip. On August 20, 1864, a person
came into the Hotel-Dieu, asking treatment for chronic pleurisy. He
said his age was sixty-five, and he pursued the calling of a
mountebank, but remarked that in early life he had been taken for a
woman. He had menstruated at eight and had been examined by doctors at
sixteen. The menstruation continued until 1848, and at its cessation he
experienced the feelings of a male. At this time he presented the
venerable appearance of a long-bearded old man. At the autopsy, about
two months later, all the essentials of a female were delineated. A
Fallopian tube, ovaries, uterus, and round ligaments were found, and a
drawing in cross-section of the parts was made. There is no doubt but
that this individual was Marie-Madeline Lefort in age.

Worbe speaks of a person who was supposed to be feminine for twenty-two
years. At the age of sixteen she loved a farmer's son, but the union
was delayed for some reason, and three years later her grace faded and
she became masculine in her looks and tastes. It was only after
lengthy discussion, in which the court took part, that it was
definitely settled that this person was a male.

Adelaide Preville, who was married as a female, and as such lived the
last ten years of her life in France, was found on dissection at the
Hotel-Dieu to be a man. A man was spoken of in both France and Germany
a who passed for many years as a female. He had a cleft scrotum and
hypospadias, which caused the deception. Sleeping with another servant
for three years, he constantly had sexual congress with her during this
period, and finally impregnated her. It was supposed in this case that
the posterior wall of the vagina supplied the deficiency of the lower
boundary of the urethra, forming a complete channel for the semen to
proceed through. Long ago in Scotland a servant was condemned to death
by burial alive for impregnating his master's daughter while in the
guise and habit of a woman. He had always been considered a woman. We
have heard of a recent trustworthy account of a pregnancy and delivery
in a girl who had been impregnated by a bed-fellow who on examination
proved to be a male pseudohermaphrodite.
