Answer to Question 1

It is difficult to know how to interact with someone whose gender we do not know because we are so programmed to react to people first according to their gender. Even our language is constructed around gender. Every time you refer to a person, you must write either he or she.. Therefore, every sentence you write about a person reveals his or her gender, even if it reveals nothing else about that person.

Answer to Question 2

Approximately 1 in 20,000 boys are born each year with androgen-insensitivity syndrome (AIS) (Oakes et al., 2008). Although the gonads develop into testes and produce testosterone normally, for some reason, the cells of individuals with AIS cannot absorb it; in other words, the testosterone is there but has no effect on the body. because the Wolffian ducts did not respond to testosterone during the sexual differentiation phase, no male genitalia develop; however, because the gonads are male, the Mllerian ducts do not develop into normal female internal organs either. Individuals with AIS are raised as females and end up with no internal reproductive organs except two testes, which remain in the abdomen producing testosterone that the body cannot use.
