Yeah man; that’s entirely normal, though less common than ‘female’ hermies there are varying ways a hermie can show itself; sometimes a plant will appear completely female and then throw a few nannas, sometimes just a single branch that appears completely male.
Sometimes a plant will appear completely male, develop like one; stretch like one and then throw a few pistils; sometimes among the main tips; and sometimes at the lower bracts of the branches. They are often capable of setting seed, but I’ve found they tend to have a lot more hollow and dead seeds when they do. I assume that like most hermies they will probably produce females in the next generation, but that is just a guess.
Some people believe that such a ‘male’ is worthless and that any seeds made with it are hermie prone; personally I don’t know if this is true or not, but it could result in a higher allele frequency for the hermie ‘trait’ this way so it’s possible, so I guess it depends on how desperate you are the keep the line going if that’s all the pollen you got.
Basically a monoecious (hermie) plant occupies a spectrum in the way it can express itself; so there is not really ‘female’ or ‘male’ hermies, just a greater or lesser expression of one sex or the other.

Yeah man, males can be intersex too.
Here’s a shot of the my last intersex male for reference. They/Them is sure a looker nonetheless 
Edit:
Pic taken somewhere around 5-6wks. It was flowering normally up until then.

I have a strain that I have bred for more than 10 years. I always get at least one plant that is a male but later produces a few female flowers. These males are the most resinous plants I have ever seen. The entire plant is covered with resin glands. Even the male flowers have resin glands. However, the females are perfectly normal with no intersex traits.
