I cannot say for sure that the skin of the "uterus" becomes the shaft of the penis (if you become male) , but it certainly is an intriguing theory.

We're all asexual when initially formed; neither male nor female. I know the glans and clitoris are the same complimentary organ, and the labia are complimentary to the scrotum. I'm not entirely sure if one of them is the scrotum and one is the shaft, or they're both the scrotum and something else is the shaft though...
