Acutally, boys can have vaginas and girls can have penises. Trans-identity is a thing, you know?
to be fair that's prolly a bit too much to put onto a child or a parent first explaining sex. i can imagine the conversation however you would likely not have it with a kid unless they themselves were transgender:
"hey timmy time to talk about the birds and the bees. so boys have a penis and girls have a vagina. the boy puts his penis in the vagina and a baby is made. but sometimes the boy puts the pee pee in another boys poo poo and sometimes 2 girls rubs themselves together or do other things that can't make a baby.
oh yeah also sometimes the boy or girl has a penis and a vagina.
oh yeah and sometimes the boy has a penis but is really a girl. or the girl has a penis but is still a girl
also it's possible to have 2 penises or vaginas or none at all and still be a boy or a girl.
a boy or a girl might decide they want to be the other and dress like that or maybe cut their penis or vagina to be the other sex.
and finally sometimes you can have a penis or a vagina or nothing at all and not be a boy or a girl."
seriously fuuuuuuuucccccck!!
the average person in this thread already seemed to have enough problems coming to terms with sexual organs without that added complication

I had started puberty by then so she kind of had to tell me some things like "blood is going to come out between your legs some day, it's normal, don't worry."
i imagine thats a whole other thread but if my father had told me at 8 that blood was gonna one day come out of my penis and it was perfectly normal i would have freaked right the fuck out and possibly considered surgical removal
fairly off topic but any girls in here that have an aversion to blood that have difficulty dealing with menstruation or is that something you pretty much instantly over come the second you start your first period?
i had a friend who spent a fair chunk of his high school career in detention or sick bay because he was so freaked out by blood that i could just prick my finger with a needle and send him to dream land (yes i done that as often as possible ^^) but i would say the average girl with anything near that sort of aversion to blood would have trouble leading a normal life
