Erm... This is a real term... Let me explain.

It means she has traits that would be considered that of both genders. Its caused when two embryonic cells (fertilised egg cells) merge after conception. The resulting baby has traits of both genders.

The baby can often show a form of hermaphrodite though like many unintentional hermaphrodites can't bred with both its reproductive organs (if they end up with two). In humans this is often the case hermaphrodites are infertile. It depends on where the divide happens, as it can be a 50-50 left and right or top and bottom at times.

This can happen even in humans.

Chimera's not are always of two different genders, they can be made from the same gender. You get this freaky result wherein one half of the creature develops based on the DNA of one creature and DNA of another.

For example this cat.

The Chimera would have been non-identical twins in the case of humans.
