This could be it!. Basically there is a mutation which means that a genetically male foetus (XY) is 'immune' to testosterone so develops as a female!.
So they can have the outward appearance of being female but are genetically male!.
They cannot have children as far as I know, and many are completely unaware of their syndrome until they try to conceive!.
Turners is where the person only has a single X chromosome instead of the normal XX or XY!. This can have varying effects on the person from very mild to very severe!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My sister in law was born without ovaries!. This is not a real common thing to happen!. But "Technically" she is not a man!.!.lol It is called Turner's syndrome!.
I am not sure, I know that my sister in law does not have periods, her body does not produce the hormones needed to be healthy and she has to take all kinds of medicines!. She does have a uterus, and can be implanted with a donor egg and sperm!. I would have to do some more research for you!.!.!.I will see if I can find anything else and get back with you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
