As far as I'm aware, there are no recorded cases of a true human hermaphrodite -capable of producing both sexes gamete.

An intersex 'male' that can get pregnant and has ovaries is actually an intersex female - this is where the term "Assigned x at birth" actually comes from. They're actually female, but were put down as male based on external anatomy.

You're right that it comes down to sperm and egg production. There's no such thing as a female able to produce sperm or a male able to produce egg because to produce eggs is what female is, and likewise with sperm and male.
