Even if she did 'show you hers' as you so elegantly and sensitively put it, that is, in itself, no real indication of gender. 'Intersex' conditions exist that don't affect the external appearance of the genitals.

As Kim A says, could be a Haemaphrodite !
If so where do you go from there ?

It depends upon the IAAF definition of a male and a female.

Not as easy as you might think.

Squad !
Have you ever come across cross Gender in your Medical Profession as they must be fairly rare ?

This problem, male or female is a geneticists dream.

I'm no expert on this, but surely it is much more complex than just look see. It must involve hormone tests etc. It's not always completely black or white.
