It's natural and harmless to have any combination of male and female sexual characteristics, even if it's uncommon. It's only considered medical condition because we decided it was.
My friend has a uterus and gonads. I have red hair and blue eyes. Both are super uncommon and neither has caused us any trouble, that's just how we're made.
I'd argue that male and female are just names for the ends of the spectrum.
Yep. Nothing wrong with it. Everybody's abnormal in some way. Doesn't mean we should redefine scientific terms or "other" someone just because their abnormality has to do with sex characteristics.
Personally, I go out of my way to not be normal, but most people want to fit in, and especially don't want to be seen as different or lesser because of something they can't control.
