## Strict Gametic Definition
#### Intended Usage
| **Definiendum** | **Definiens** |
|:-------------------------------------------:|:----------------------------------------- |
| **M** | something (x) counts as male |
| **F** | something (x) counts as female |
| **S** | something (x) is a small gamete |
| **L** | something (x) is a large gamete |
| **p** | sperm |
| **o** | ova |
P1) Something counts as male if, and only if, something is a small gamete, and something counts as female if, and only if something is a large gamete.
(∀x(Mx↔Sx)∧∀x(Fx↔Lx))
P2) Sperm are small gametes, and ova are large gametes.
(Sp∧Lo)
C) Therefore, sperm count as male and ova count as female.

#### Reductio
| **Definiendum** | **Definiens** |
|:-------------------------------------------:|:----------------------------------------- |
| **M** | something (x) counts as male |
| **F** | something (x) counts as female |
| **S** | something (x) is a small gamete |
| **L** | something (x) is a large gamete |
| **e** | people |
P1) Something counts as male if, and only if, something is a small gamete, and something counts as female if, and only if something is a large gamete.
(∀x(Mx↔Sx)∧∀x(Fx↔Lx))
P2) People are neither small gametes nor large gametes.
(¬Se∧¬Le)
C) Therefore, people do not count as male or female.

## Gametic Entailed Definition
#### Intended Usage
| **Definiendum** | **Definiens** |
|:-------------------------------------------:|:----------------------------------------- |
| **M** | something (x) counts as male |
| **F** | something (y) counts as female |
| **S** | something (x) produces small gametes |
| **L** | something (y) produces large gametes |
| **t** | a person with gametogenic testes |
| **o** | a person with gametogenic ovaries |
P1) Something counts as male if, and only if, something produces small gametes, and something counts as female if, and only if something produces large gametes.
(∀x(Mx↔Sx)∧∀x(Fx↔Lx))
P2) A person with gametogenic testes produces small gametes, and a person with gametogenic ovaries produces large gametes.
(St∧Lo)
C) Therefore, A person with gametogenic testes counts as male, and a person with gametogenic ovaries counts as female.
(∴Mt∧Fo)

#### Reductio
| **Definiendum** | **Definiens** |
|:-------------------------------------------:|:----------------------------------------- |
| **M** | something (x) counts as male |

| **S** | something (x) produces small gametes |

| **a** | a person with azoospermia |
| **w** | a person with complete gonadal dysgenesis |
P1) Something counts as male if, and only if, something produces small gametes, and something counts as female if, and only if something produces large gametes.
(∀x(Mx↔Sx)∧∀x(Fx↔Lx))
P2) A person with azoospermia does not produce small gametes and a person with complete gonadal dysgenesis does not produce large gametes.
(¬Sa∧¬Lw)
C) Therefore, a person with azoospermia does not count as male, and a person with complete gonadal dysgenesis does not count as female.
