I do not belive the white Prophets are hermaphrodites. I can not recall which book it was said in, I assume it was in the Tawny Man Trilogy, but one of the chapters opened with facts on the histroy of the White Prophets. It said that when they were alive, and their race was comming to an end, a Female left their land and traveled the world. She became pregant by 6 different men, and gave birth to 3 girls and 3 boys, thus ensuring that the White Prophets blood would be intermingled with those of the world. So anytime that two distant offspring of hers came together, their children would become the next White Prophet.
Also, the Pale Women was Female, because Fitz saw her nude body. And the Black Man was male. And the Fool said he was male when he was desribing to Fitz that he loved him, but that did not mean he wanted to bed with him.

"Everyone thinks that courage is about facing death without flinching. But almost anyone can do that. Almost anyone can hold their breath and not scream for as long as it takes to die. True courage is facing life without flinching. I don't mean the times when the right path is hard, but glorious at the end. I'm talking about enduring the boredom, and messiness, and the inconvenience of doing what is right." -Amber
