Question

Can an embryo's gender be changed after it is conceived

Answer 1

This is a tricky question—mostly because socially we are going through an argument in the US (and elsewhere) about what “sex” is and what “gender” is. Most people use “sex” to refer to measurable chromosomal and biological characteristics and use “gender” to refer to “the state of being male or female (typically used with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones)” as the dictionary would define it.

Since “gender” is largely either psychological, cultural, social, or relating to one’s experienced “identity,” I think we can argue that it is not changed in the womb. There may be changes in the womb that ultimately, upon birth, self-realization, and socialization may be realized as “gender,” but it seems a stretch to call those “gender” while in the womb.

Biological sex is largely determined by chromosomes, and is—normally—determined at conception. If the father contributes an X chromosome, the baby/person will be a female. If the father contributes a Y chromosome the baby/person will be a male. Hormonal changes (amounts, timing, and actual hormones) in utero can affect the outward appearance and development of sex characteristics—but the chromosomes will always remain in each cell. Sometimes there are exceptions to this, and this category of exceptions are called “Intersex.”
