That's the wrong tact. Sex is a category to define an organism's role in sexual reproduction. So, a female is an organism who is either:

  • Capable of producing ova

  • Would produce ova were it not for some type of disorder/injury

  • Had the ability to produce ova in the past

  • Will develop the ability to produce ova in the future, provided disorders and injuries don't prevent it

The definition for male is the same, but swap ova with sperm.

The result is anyone born with ovaries, but not testes is female, even if she has an enlarged clitoris, a Y chromosome, high testosterone, and low estrogen. Likewise, anyone born with testes, but not ovaries is male, even if he has micropenis, two X chromosomes, low testosterone, and high estrogen.
