A person’s sex is determined by what reproductive system the person has, but it isn’t always so simple. The humans use sexual mode of reproduction. The organs associated with the process of reproduction in human males (men) and human females (women) are different, so the reproductive systems in males and females are different which are known as male reproductive system and female reproductive system, respectively. The reproductive systems in human beings become functional (or start functioning) at a definite age called puberty. Around 49.5 percent of the world’s population is female, so there are slightly more men on the planet than women. Some humans are born with parts of both male and female reproductive systems or incomplete reproductive organs of one sex or the other. Those with both male and female reproductive parts are considered intersex. Sometimes children are labelled as male or female, depending on how complete or functional one sexual reproductive system is over the other. Then, the other organs are removed.
