    At what point of conception is defined our biological sex? Is it at birth? If so, does it means that a fetus has no sex? If so, does it means it’s not a person hence has no rights? Then abortion can’t be punished?

    Or maybe sex is defined at the moment in which the egg and the spermathozoid become a single cell? Because boy, have I news for you… You might have erased legally the definition of biological man…

      Sex characteristic development is immediately deterministic upon fertilization, but expression of male characteristics comes a bit down the line. It would not be correct to say they are sexless.
