      Depends on the type of snail, there are male, female, hermaphroditic and parthenogenetic types. Since they wrote “his reproductive organs”, Jeremy is probably a hermaphroditic snail.

      Most terrestrial snails are hermaphrodites, so it’s more like they can only mate with their own sex. But it’s a bit more complicated than that; they typically produce sperm earlier than they produce egg cells, to discourage self-fertilisation, so you could argue they start male and end female.

        Careful, if the Republicans get wind of this they’ll start calling snails a woke, radical trans plot.
