"Congratulations! It's a baby girl!" must have been the exclamation in the labour-ward when I was born 48 years ago. Evidently, all the women present must have determined my sex by looking at my reproductive organ which is female.

I imagine my father looking at me proudly and announcing: "We shall name her after my mother."
