Your roommate confides in you that though her external sex characteristics are female, she does not have ovaries and will not be able to have children. it is most likely that she has androgen insensitivity syndrome.
What is androgen insensitivity syndrome?
XY chromosomes are present in children with AIS, but the genetic change they inherit prohibits their bodies from responding to testosterone (the sex hormone). It follows that the development of male sex does not proceed normally. It appears that the genitalia are female or undeveloped. Ovaries and a womb do not grow internally either.
Early in pregnancy, the genitalia of every unborn child are the same. Either male or female genitalia develop as they grow inside the womb. Their ability to react to the sex hormones they produce and the pair of sex chromosomes they inherit from their parents both play a role in this. The genetic mutation is typically passed down the female line to a child. The mother's X chromosome has the AIS gene.
