    Iā€™m no biologist, but Iā€™m pretty sure nobody produces gametes at conception. If you want to be pedantic, oocytes form before birth, but actual sperm and eggs donā€™t show up till puberty (feel free to correct me).

    Now, I would LOVE if we donā€™t assign gender till puberty, but I still donā€™t like the method.

      iā€™ve always thought the egg cells were produced before birth and at puberty they just start being released

      and i agree about not assigning gender until puberty. kids before puberty barely even show any sexual dimorphism anyway. though i have to say there would need to be A LOT of educating people about sex and gender before we get there
