Default: Complete ai is no response to testosterone (t). In pregnancy with a male fetus, genital development relies on fetal t production. When fetus can't respond to t, external genitals become female by default. Testes are intraabdominal. Girls often aren't diagnosed w/ai until failing to develop sexual hair and don't have periods. No uterus. +breasts as testosterone converts to estrogen.

Kind Of: Complete a.I.S. Will make a guy "look like" a girl, but he is still a guy genetically speaking. Androgen insensitivity syndrome (ais) is when a person who is genetically male (who has one x and one y chromosome) is resistant to male hormones (called androgens). As a result, the person has some or all of the physical traits of a woman, but the genetic makeup of a man.
