Sommige vrouwen zijn geen echte vrouwen!
[Wallis Simpson]
Lieve Mensen, ik zat niets vermoedend te lezen over W.E, de nieuwe film door Madonna over Wallis Simpson en las over de boze geruchten dat ze geen echte vrouw was, maar een vrouw met XY chromosomen, in plaats van XX. Bij zulke vrouwen is er soms zichtbaar iets vreemds aan de geslachtsdelen en vaak kunnen ze door een ontbrekende baarmoeder geen kinderen krijgen. Maar het meest schokkende is de lijst van vrouwen waarvan men vermoed dat zij deze variatie hebben.

Citaat:
Many thousands of women around the world suffer from a disorder known as Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS), or in old text books as Testicular Feminisation Syndrome. The syndrome is of great interest because it conclusively proves (though perhaps still not to some judges and lawyers) that women can have XY genes, a fact which has considerable significance for genetically XY Male-to-Female (MTF) transsexuals.
Women with AIS look and feel like typical women, and in every practical, social, legal, and everyday sense they are women, even though congenitally they have testes and XY chromosomes, and can never bear children. The fact that a "woman" has AIS and is genetically a "male" is often not discovered until puberty, when she does not start to menstruate and a gynaecological examination reveals the syndrome.
(The above two paragraphs are based on material from the literature of the Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome Support Group (AISSG).
