Sexing: Sexing sharks is a relatively simple task. Male sharks have elongated edges to their pelvic fins that roll up forming sausage-like protrusions called claspers -- or more accurately, myxopterygia (pronounced: mix-op-ter-ridge-ee-a) as they are not actually used for clasping the female -- the front opening of which is the apopyle and the rear opening (as it is a tube) the rhipidion. The claspers are intromittant organs that are used to transfer sperm from the male's ductus deferens to the female's uterus. Some species have small hooks and a spur on the clasper to keep it in place during sperm transfer. Female elasmobranchs don't have claspers, only the opening into which the clasper fits and the waste products exit (called the cloaca - pronounced clow-ache-kah). Females generally grow to larger sizes than males of the same species and some species exhibit sexual segregation for much of the year. (Back to Menu)

Can a girl become a male?
Rarely, girls are born who truly believe as they grow up that they are boys in every way but in the body. It also happens that boys are born who truly believe that they are girls in every way but in the body. After very long periods of counseling, and careful assessment, some individuals with this difficulty can go through a process called 'gender reassignment'. This involves a lot of complicated medical treatment, and it might even end with extensive surgery. People who have undergone this long and difficult process have the physical appearance of the gender that they have identified as their own. If they have gone through the entire process including all necessary surgeries, they no longer function reproductively as their birth gender, and they cannot function reproductively as their identified gender, either. But in all other ways they can live and function normally as they wish, as members of their identified gender would live.
