- People with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) have no response to androgens and are born with a vulva and clitoris, as well as a shorter-than-typical vagina and undescended testes. In adolescence, they will develop breasts and other features associated with a typical estrogen puberty due to the body’s natural conversion of testosterone to estrogen. However, people with CAIS do not menstruate because they do not have a uterus or ovaries.
- Developed during an extended collaboration with interACT: Advocates for Intersex Youth, 2022-2023.
