Talk:Leonardo Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa"/@comment-3270170-20170427042545/@comment-1674153-20170427220247

Let me be the one to inform you that you mean the sex of a person, not the gender. Sex is biological, male and female, for instance. Gender is a social construct, and has a lot of nuance based on how people to identify themselves.

That said, sex is also very nuanced, as there are more than two sexes based on how the chromosomes line up. So any artifact that "switches gender" or "switches sex" is not only a gross simplification of the science, it glosses over swathes of people that don't fall into the binary and makes the practical effects of the artifact messy to actually apply.
