The level of detail and examination depends on the individual observer. Each observer will make their own judgement, and maybe there's some kind of consensus and maybe there isn't. I can call myself "coherently male", and believe it reflects a consensus of informed observers.
This is for instance why I don't really distinguish "sex" from "gender". The average person in the street observes someone, and we call that "gender". The obstetrician observes the newborn, or the botanist observes the tree, and we call that "sex".
