The national institutes of health defines biological sex (“assigned sex”) as “a multidimensional biological construct based on anatomy, physiology, genetics, and hormones,” also referred to by some as “sex traits.” all animals, including humans, have a sex. Biological sex is traditionally defined by gametes (sperm and egg), essential for direct reproduction This definition is incomplete, as intersex conditions can be adaptive through kin selection. Sex, the sum of features by which members of species can be divided into two groups—male and female—that complement each other reproductively
