May-Joe (1905-?)
Double Bodied
Born with an underdeveloped twin, May-Joe had a third leg as well as a second stomach. He was billed as being both male as well as female, which of course was untrue. Parasitic twins are always of the same sex. Although it's speculated that May Joe may have also been a pseudohemaphrodite, born with ambiguous genatalia. Because of this he was raised, dressed, and billed as a girl until he hit puberty, and his more masculine side came out.
