What organs are homolagous to the female equivalents?

Also, do female have a perineum or does the vagina take up all that space from hole to hole?

the testicles are homologous to the ovaries, without the anti-mullerian hormone, the male will develop into female parts despite still being male. there are a few syndromes, genetic conditions that will do this , its rare though. like swyer syndrome. but it wouldnt be functional because it still need the female genes and their chromosones to make the uterus, breasts,,,,etc. it gets complicated if you delve into how sperm and egg gene expression occurs.
