That is usually how males and females of a species are differentiated in general: males have the small gamete and females have the large one. (As you said, some individuals may not produce gametes so it only applies in general).

Teenager ≠ underage, 18 and 19 year olds exist. But thanks for your concern. :)
As a teenager who is relatively tech-savvy and on the fediverse, can confirm. I think it’s gotten to the point where even less technically inclined people can join fairly easily, but the more savvy are usually the first to flee from enshittifying platforms so we see a lot more of them here.
I didn’t want to be exposed to exploits, so made sure to never install the Google services stuff.
