Tori says "in my world, boys can have innies and girls can have outies". But what if you want to use gender-neutral language for your manly girlie androgyny-bits?

Fortunately, there's a solution. Developmental biology has lots of terms for them, since for the first few weeks of fetal development the genital structures are undifferentiated.

female male gender-neutral example usage
ovaries testes gonads ‡ Ze has giant gonads to wear that outfit, but ze really rocks it.
labia scrotum genital swellings
labioscrotal folds
clitorous penis genital tubercle Suck my genital tubercle!
