I think that what you're referring to up above is commonly called sex...today. Sex is usually biologically binary, though there are exceptions, as you mentioned.
Gender and sex are related, but not the same thing. Gender includes the expectations you mentioned (which aren't the same between pretty much any two group of people - if theyre even truly the same between two individual people)_..whereas sex is just "is there a dick down there or not?" (which is the same across the entirety of humanity).
In that sense, the question "do you have a penis" is alot like "are you a dolphin"....whereas "are you a guy or a girl" is going to be very difficult to explain, even if you can quickly answer one or the other, lol.
