I never mentioned egg production. I said with respect to eggs. So a female any could be induced to mature into a queen and produce eggs. You cannot do that with a drone - a male ant. SO workers are female as thy have a direct relationship to eggs.

Ok so if the latent potentiality for gamete production is part of an individual’s ontology, and a means by which we can determine an individual’s sex, then hens are both female and male an simply more commonly manifest as female. If not, worker ants are neither male nor female. No binary either way.

You are speaking gibberish. Do you accept about half of all chicks hatched from eggs are female and can go on to lay more eggs? Please say you accept this or not.

Yeah *about* half. It’s a tendency. Again: why does the potentiality for egg production in worker ants (even though it only manifests in a few) proof of their femaleness, but the potentiality for sperm production in hens (even though it only manifests in a few) not proof of their maleness?

What name do we give to animals that have the anatomy associated with producing eggs? What name do we give to the animals that have the anatomy associated with producing sperm? What collectively do we call these two groups? You have all night to come up with answers...

Hens have the anatomy associated with producing eggs and the anatomy associated with producing sperm.
