You’ve illustrated my point exactly. Why are those conditions called ovarian agenesis and anorchia? Think hard about that and what that implies about the fact that, even though the gonads are missing, we can tell what they would be if present. The names literally support my point. MRKH likewise leads to missing ovaries, not testes. Why is that?

So sex is determined by what structures medical professionals expect to be there.

No.
The medical professionals examine nearby structures to reveal what sex the body has.

Yeah. So “nearby structures” determine sex, not “size of gametes”. What are they nearby? Possibly nothing.
