Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Androgen-insensitivity syndrome (AIS) is a condition where an individual with XY chromosomes does not respond to androgens (male sex hormones) during fetal development. This leads to a lack of masculinization of the external genitalia, resulting in female genitalia at birth. However, internal reproductive organs are typically male, such as testes instead of ovaries. Therefore, individuals with AIS have female external genitalia but do not function sexually as an adult due to the absence or underdevelopment of either the uterus or other internal reproductive organs. AIS individuals may have a preference for a female sexual partner; however, this is not always the case, and toy preferences are not necessarily associated with AIS.
