Because of intersex people, I imagine. Did you know females can grow up with penises and males can grow up with inverted genitals? Then, when they hit puberty, the correct hormones start producing in their brains, which physically change their bodies to the other sex. A very bizarre process that probably causes a lot of trauma, but it happens.
