Actually, it can.
Simple organisms can easily... I know not the term, but the more simple an organism is, the more easy it is to regenerate and change its body, including gender.
Humans do not regenerate because humans are too complex for such repairs.
They usually don't change gender willy nilly, environment change needs to happen for an animal to change gender.
They evolved that way so that if there are only two frogs in the whole arse world, there will not be an issue if they are same gender, because one can switch it.

Some plants, fish and invertebrates can though.
