Bekhorot 42: three things to remember

1. The Gemara amends multiple baraitot to omit the tumtum, treating it as an unresolved doubt rather than a distinct entity.
2. Unlike humans, an animal with concealed organs is determined male or female based on where it urinates.
3. Because a tumtum is physically abnormal, Sages debate whether to suspect further internal mutations like inverted organs or congenital sterility.
