Another Read The Whole Thing essay. This one from American Transman, detailing a case which until I read it, I thought was physically impossible.
Well Reality doesn't care what we think. It takes only one ugly little fact to slay the most elegant theory.
So please read Part 4 Male Gender Identity in an Individual With Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome | American Trans Man for a really good analysis of a rare situation, and some postulated modifications to existing theory to account for it. A really good piece of work.

Quite interesting. Yet CAIS was diagnosed on the visible cues, I suppose.
Anyway, you don't have to look at the few cases here. Habe a look at DES. DES acts as estrogenic alike. It doesn't interfere with testosterone, does it? Yet there are many female XYs (and quite some who have lesser degrees, defining semselfs as eunuch or transgender rather that transsexual)
