Ahh, but delayed and expedited puberty? Hormone disrupting chemicals in air, water, soil, food? Since the dawn of industrial devolution, now, some 500 chemicals in a body of someone living in highly polluted cities, say, New York or even the flyover farming states or Cairo, and, bam, old mother nature and sex expression in the good old genes and hormone factories of the body, completely wiped away from a normal set of growth regimes.
Sex chromosomes — XY chromosomes = man and XX = woman, right? Wrong. On the Y chromosome, a gene called SRY generally causes a fetus to develop male. But the SRY can show up on an X, turning an XX fetus essentially male. If the SRY gene does not work on the Y, the fetus develops essentially female. An XY fetus with a functioning SRY can essentially develop female. In the case of Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, cells in the body are not entirely receptive to androgens (masculinizing hormones). Subsequently, the body ends up appearing female-typical but the individual lacks body hair (which is dependent on androgen-sensitivity). Women with complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome are less “masculinized” in their muscles and brains than many other cisgender women, because cisgender women in general are more receptive to androgens.
Genitals — The genitals of every sex and gender come from the same stuff, and many individuals (who are not intersex) have ambiguous genitalia and are still referred to as men or women. Moreover, a person can appear to be male-typical but is biologically female-typical, or vice versa. For instance, cisgender men with extreme Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia may be entirely male-typical but discover later in life that they have ovaries and a uterus. Even though these individuals have XX chromosomes and ovaries, their adrenal glands make so many androgens that their bodies develop male-typical (including their muscle development and gender identity).
Hormones — All genders and sexes make the same hormones, just in different quantities, on average. The average man has more androgens than the average woman. But what about athletic women, who are more likely to have naturally high levels of androgens? There’s a lot of variation here, also – such as the 1 out of every 10-20 women who have polycystic ovarian syndrome.
Thousands of morphed genes, and, and, well, you get the picture, from cleft lips to Fetal Alcohol Syndrome to the thousands of blown out DNA formations. Extra legs growing from the spines of frogs to three-headed snakes, what a wonderful Doctor Moreau's Island we have reaped.
Then the wacked-out Judaics!
The Jewish obligation to observe commandments is traditionally divided along male/female lines: men pray three times daily, while women don’t have to; men put on tefillin, while women do not. Some women’s recent efforts to observe the religious privileges they’re exempt from have made ripples in the Jewish world, and even the news.
But what if we told you that the foundation for all this was wrong? That Judaism recognized not two, but as many as eight genders? The Mishnah describes half a dozen categories that are between male and female, such as saris or ailonit — the terms refer to an non-reproductive version of the male or female body, respectively — and categories that refer to ambiguous or indeterminate gender.

From Gender and Race to Eidos: A broader term for culturally defined roles based on biological traits
Based on the various analyses of potential eidoi, and comparing it to otherculturally defined categorizations, I propose the following definition of eidos: asocial role that divide societies into distinct groups which establish theway in which people interact with one another, and which are closelyrelated to, but which are distinct from, biological separations. Usingthis definition it seems that there are cultural phenomenona which reasonablyfit into the category of eidoi, and ones that do not. Apparent examples of eidoiare gender, race, adolescence, and clan. This definition allows us to investigatevarious cultural roles in a new way. And so it seems that the addition of ”eidos”into the scientific lexicon is reasonable and useful.

Oh, Ellison and Altman and Zuckerberg, they will get it right soon -- Homo Robopethicus:
These robots, like Victoria, are designed to simulate pregnancy and labor, allowing medical professionals to practice different scenarios and emergency procedures. Additionally, robots are being developed to assist in the in vitro fertilization (IVF) process, specifically in the sperm injection phase, leading to the birth of healthy babies.
