Wolffian and müllerian sex organs develop from the same tissue. Whether this tissue becomes wolffian organs or müllerian organs depends on the chromosomes and the presence or absence of wolffian hormones in the womb. This means that atypical hormone levels and/or chromosomal abnormalities can cause ambiguous genitalia.

Those with this variation of genitallia are often called 'hermaphrodites,' a common intersex, [[transsex]], and [[altersex]] slur that is rude, dehumanizing, and encouraging of fetishists. It also spreads misinformation, as hermaphrodite implies that a individual has both a penis and a vagina, which is not what ambiguous genitalia is, and should not be confused as such.
