NOTES
ה
אין חייבים על טומתו - This is referring to the tuma that is contracted with either the white or red emissions previously mentioned; in fact, even if seen together these do not create liability for enterring the מקדש, as the pasuk says (מזכר עד נקבה תשלחו (ויקרא ה:ג. The gemara explains that we learn from here that this only applies to those certain to be a male or female. ואין שורפין על טומתו - This is mentioned separately, as in contrast to liability for entering the מקדש, if both a red and white emission is seen, we do burn the teruma. ואינו נערך - This is a particular type of vow where a person pledges the value of a person to הקדש. The reason for this is similar to the reason for tuma of such a person in the מקדש, the relevant pasuk uses language of male and female, leaving this ספק out. ואינו נמכר בעבד עברי - If a male, he cannot be sold unless a גדול, but if female, she can only be sold if a קטנה, thus, ממ"נ a hermaphrodite cannot be sold. בריה בפני עצמה - There are those that say רבי יוסי is clarifying the opinion of the ת"ק, while others say he argues, saying that the אנדרוגנס is a third gender, to whom the rules specific to men or specific to women (e.g. tuma from certain types of emissions) do not apply at all. Yet another interpretation of רבי יוסי is that he holds that an אנדרוגנס is indeed a ספק man or woman, but also a ספק of being of yet another, third gender.
