Not _clear_, really.
 
Aren't you suppose to love him not just _contingently_ or  _accidentally_?

I would say that _gender_ is what Aristotle may have as an 'accident'  of 
the person. But granted, the word is used differently today, "I saw a big car 
 accident this morning".

Wittgenstein may be responsible for the new use of 'accident': "nothing  in 
logic is accidental".
