"All of us, men and women, have a mix of male and female hormones running through our systems. And as you might expect, the testes of women with AIS produce huge amounts of the typically male hormone testosterone. But here's the hitch: their bodies can't process any of it. And amazingly, they turn it into the typically female hormone estrogen, giving them much more estrogen than the average woman. "

so it actually makes them more feminin. hmm

 

does this mean i'm gay?

 

I've heard that as well. It was supposedly why her folks gave her an androgynous name. Which means they knew at birth

So you'd prove your femininity by beating the crap out of him? Or did you have something else in mind?

also, jamie lee curtis is hot too. they can have all the hidden testicles they want as far as i'm concerned.

Yes, so the perfect woman is actually a man. Pretty cool. Other than the infertility, I don't see this as a huge problem.

 

She's pretty. In all honesty, I think I wouldn't mind if I found out my girlfriend had this syndrome.

Actually, it is.. in a way. lol

 

I always thought the rumors were she was a hermaphrodite that cut of his/her/its/well what pronoun do you use's penis.

 

OK, so this is a problem? I'll tell you what, I'd marry her in a second...

There was an episode on this in House MD.

House also said that the perfect woman is a man.

 

was that the one where the daughter slept with her father?

 

Yes.

 

Beating the crap out of people is automatically unfeminine?
