For example, a genetic male may have the appearance of a normal female.

Genetic testing can determine if the child is a genetic male or female.

It only affects people with Y chromosomes, namely genetic males.

Conversely, you can get genetic males looking like females because they didn't get enough male hormones in utero.

XY fetuses (genetic males) typically show no signs of excess androgens.

Both types of disorders are inherited as autosomal recessive conditions with expression usually limited to genetic males.

Genetic males have normal male genitalia and gonads and simply need hormone replacement.

Some evidence supports the concept of biological precursors of bisexual orientation in genetic males.

Undervirilization can occur if a genetic male cannot produce enough androgen or the body tissues cannot respond to it.

It is a relatively common form of genital ambiguity caused by under virilization of genetic males due to several different intersex conditions.

In a genetic male (one X and one Y chromosome), ambiguous genitalia usually include the following features:

The condition affects only genetic males (that is, those with a Y-chromosome) because DHT has no known role in female development.

The added challenge for the most severely affected genetic females, and for genetic males who are being raised as females, is construction of a neovagina.

Androgen insensitivity syndrome (also known as AIS) - A condition which affects a genetic male's virilization.

The majority of these genetic males who were reassigned and surgically converted had cloacal exstrophy-type malformations or extreme micropenis (typically less than 1.5 cm).

A baby who inherits the Y chromosome from the father is a genetic male (one X and one Y chromosome).

Severe bladder exstrophy or cloacal exstrophy in genetic males often renders the phallus widely split, small, and unsalvageable.

These include "berdaches" (a derogatory term for genetic males who assumed a feminine role) and "passing women" (genetic females who took on a masculine role).

Genetic males (with one X and one Y chromosome) with androgen insensitivity syndrome is resistant to male hormone androgen.

Prenatal virilization of genetic females and undervirilization of genetic males are common causes of ambiguous genitalia and intersex conditions.

Eight of 14 genetic males with cloacal exstrophy raised as females after feminizing genitoplasty requested reassignment as males as they grew up.
