So… an average person has slightly less than a single ovary AND slightly less than a single testicle.

How would your method work on that?

My point being: statistics has developed arcane methods to describe a population. One should not blindly force the most common measure on every case.

Any man you sample most likely has more than the average number of testicles, but fewer than the average number of ovaries. No problem when dealing with individuals.
