Humans that don’t produce gametes still have bodies organized around producing either sperm or ova. Their bodies still contain sexed structures. An example in other species is worker bees, which are sterile females. How do we know they’re female? Because of the sexed structures in their bodies! Even though they don’t produce gametes, they have structures in their bodies that are required for producing gametes of one type, and not used in the production of the other type.
No humans have bodies organized around producing both types of gametes, because we are Gonochoric. Other animals do have body plans organized around producing both types of gametes, such as in Androdioecy. Those species give a good example of what humans are not.

Ok, so what about those that produce no gametes? What about those that produce both kinds?
