If something is described as A or B it can't be claimed to be A. If something is both A and B, it can't be called only A. hasSameSexAs could reasonably defined as gender identity (developmental), gender role (social/legal status), XX vs. XY chromosomes, current genitalia, birth genitalia, hermaphrodite, etc. and the reflexive subsets over a population could all be different.
