Related is the beraisa on the top of Yevamos 83a in which R' Yosi says
an andogynous is a berya bifnei atzmo, and the discussion as to whether
the beraisa has authority in the face of a mishnah.

However, the notion of a middle sex is at least taken seriously, and not
"merely" as a safeiq sex.

However, I haven't seen any ground in the Torah for the sex vs gender
distinction being used to model these things in modern Western discourse.

Tir'u baTov!
