unisexual
Having one gender
Unisexual means having only one sex, or involving only one sex.
In biology, unisexual organisms or flowers have either male or female reproductive organs but not both: unisexual species reproduce through parthenogenesis.
The term also describes activities or spaces restricted to one sex: a unisexual dormitory.
Compare bisexual and hermaphroditic.
