Maimonides' approach to kinship through lust in a male
Maimonides ruled that the one who comes to an androgynous man through his femininity is exempt (Iso" 2:15). Doesn't this mean that intimacy through lust with a male is not subject to the law according to Maimonides.
Although it is not clear why Maimonides divided it this way, we can see that this is his position, right?
Related to a ruling you gave under the leadership of Rabbi Sperber.

Absolutely not. First, there is doubt here and therefore exemption (and see Reka there who proved from this that the leech is removed from the doubt). Second, when it comes to him through his femininity, it is as if he comes to the female side of him, and therefore exemption. And evidence for the fact that when it comes to his male side, he is obligated, and it is proven that regarding this there is no doubt but that he is certainly male. If so, when it comes to his femininity, it is certainly female. So what did Reka write about that it is proven from this that the leech is removed from the doubt? Apparently, regarding coming to his femininity, it is also considered as a doubt of kinship through organs to his male.
In general, the scholars there dealt extensively with the question of how Maimonides ruled regarding Andorginus (whether he is doubtful, certainly male, a being in himself, etc.). Therefore, it is difficult to prove anything from this.
