論解人性具足中云「由二因緣,施他人性」者,謂他婦女樂自形,丈夫將轉根,失男根者,菩薩勸彼、攝護,令不轉根。又為說法,令彼女人及丈夫因菩薩勸故,不樂女身,當得男身;轉根者因菩薩勸故,得不轉根。名施他人性。

Where the treatise explains the perfection of human gender, saying, "Due to two causes and conditions, one bestows human gender upon others": this means that when other women are pleased with their own form, or when men are about to undergo gender transformation and lose their male faculty, the bodhisattva admonishes and protects them, causing them not to undergo gender transformation. Furthermore, he explains the Dharma to them, causing those women and men, through the bodhisattva's encouragement, not to take pleasure in female bodies and to obtain male bodies in the future, while those undergoing gender transformation, through the bodhisattva's encouragement, are able not to undergo gender transformation. This is called bestowing human gender upon others.
