Does this mean swapping “abortion on demand” to “conception on demand” to prove one’s gender?
Maybe sports should all be co-ed ?

If you have both male and female organs how do you define yourself? I guess it boils down to if you could conceive a child or produce sperm. If your body does neither then it comes down too if you have more male or female hormones. It.s a complicated issue but one that should be decided as to not create a unfair advantage of disadvantage.
