My usual approach here is to consider whether information is hidden. If there is nothing you can reveal to dissuade a consensus that you are male, then you are male. If there's a consensus that can be dissuaded, then I suppose you have a secret identity.
How do people typically judge gender? In the case of both the obstetrician and the average person, they do so with reference to fertility, something like "resembles sometime female-fertile". For both observers, sometimes they will have no clear judgement. And they both make do with the evidence they have.
