> Put another way: sex is a bunch of physical attributes. No, it's an organised system of different parts whose development is coordinated to deliver a specific function: that of reproduction. We have sexed bodies - female and male - because of our differential reproductive roles, and have evolved molecular mechanisms to drive development of those sexed bodies to support each reproductive role. Describing sex simply as a "bunch of physical attributes" completely ignores that it is an evolved system function for reproduction, predicated on female and male gametes.
