guevedochenoun
An individual born with male gonads, but who appears to have female external genitalia. They are often raised as girls until puberty, when they develop normal male genitalia. This is the result of a 5-alpha-reductase deficiency.

Wikipedia
guevedoche
In the Dominican Republic, güevedoces (from Spanish: güevedoce, from Dominican Spanish güevo a doce 'penis at twelve') are children with a specific type of intersexuality. Güevedoces are classified as girls when they are born but, around the age of 12, they start developing male genitalia. This is due to a deficiency in the production of 5α-reductase, an enzyme involved in the metabolism of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone. The same phenomenon occurs in Papua New Guinea, where it is called kwolu-aatmwol (literally 'a female thing changing into a male thing') by the Sambia people, and in Turkey. Anne Fausto-Sterling states that güevedoces (as well as people in Papua New Guinea with 5α-reductase deficiency) "are recognised as a third sex" by their cultures, while the cultures "nevertheless recognize only two gender roles".
