GC: A female produces eggs and a male produces sperm, so why aren't pre-pubescent kids sexless? And Why are penis, testes, etc male and why are vagina, clitoris, uterus, ovaries, etc female? Why can't penis, testes, etc be female and why can't vagina, clitoris, uterus, ovaries, etc be male instead?

An old Soviet joke that I've quoted a bunch of times, here and elsewhere:

A man wants to buy some bread, but when he goes to the store, all the shelves are empty. "Do you really have no bread at all?" "No," said the shopkeeper, "we're a fishmonger and we don't have any fish. It's the bakery next door that doesn't have any bread."

Even if a one-year old, one-month old, or one-hour old baby boy can't produce sperm yet, it's completely obvious that he will be able to. If I took you to a newborn ward in a hospital and said, "pick five babies here, and I'll give you a thousand dollars for each one who gives birth but you give me a thousand for each one that doesn't," are you really going to pick a baby with a penis because you just don't know?
