Was the "Two Spirit" played by a real berdache?

Science Fiction & Fantasy Asked on February 24, 2021

In Lovecraft Country S1E04, "A History of Violence", Tic, Leti, and Montrose, following the trail of Titus Braithwaite’s last voyage in the secret vault, encounter a "corpse" that revives to reveal a berdache, a "two spirit", with both male and female features (visible because the corpse is nude).

Was this character played by an actual intersex actor, was a makeup effect used, or was this effect done in CGI?

According to the website lezwatch.tv Monique Candelaria is a cisgender woman. https://lezwatchtv.com/actor/monique-candelaria/

It is not clear if they used cgi or a prosthetic but there is a behind the scenes photo of her getting a cast made of her pelvic area.
