Not only that, but the system of the mitzvot, some of which are only specific to some people, would mean you'd have to be male, female, a Levi (essentially a priest), a Cohen (another type of priest with claim to direct descendency from Aaron) and a Yisraelim (a term for anyone considered Jewish) all at the same time (and these groups have within them restrictions and priveliges all of their own).
