In fact, what ever your answer (suppose, seven), there's a problem.
If you say "a man must walk down seven roads", then his acts of walking down roads need to be done as a man, and so his pre-man road walking doesn't count. We're stuck.

No, not at all. A man may walk down seven roads without being
called a man. That doesn't negate his
being a man, even if he were born with ovaries.
The question remains for the TGLGB community however, how many roads must a person walk down before they are recognized by their preferred gender identity.
Still, further perplexing is the apparent riddle, "How many seas must a white dove sail before she can sleep in the sand?" Considering that a dove, white or otherwise is a
near passerine in the Columbidae family, i.e., a land bird, this question might be more appropriate alongside "How many ships sail in the forest?" in the folk song "The False Bride," yet, even there it smacks of deception and misdirection.
