god'swife, I don't think you quite see the point I am making. The point is this (correct me if I get any of it wrong): there is a property called "gender" which most humans have. This property commonly has the value 'male' or 'female'. This property is, I believe, a composite property, consisting of among other things, hormone levels, type of reproductive organs, etc. Now clearly this property is not one than can be had by sex organs. There is another property which also commonly takes the values 'male' and 'female', and this property applies to sex organs. But clearly the properties are not the same. That is all I am saying. I am not saying anything like "there aren't male and female sex organs". Do you see?
