CAIS is just one of them, most people with CAIS do not know they have it until very late in life, as they look completely like females (they have vulvas and breasts, female skeletal structure) and have similar health complications, excluding ones connected with reproductive system.

CAIS are disordered males that "pass as" women on the outside. Although they "pass as" women on the outside, they have no female sex organs on the inside. They have no uteruses, ovaries, etc. They have testes, which means their body was supposed to support sperm, and it failed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_androgen_insensitivity_syndrome#Physical

The gonads [in CAIS] are not ovaries, but instead, are testes; during the embryonic stage of development, testes form in an androgen-independent process that occurs due to the influence of the SRY gene on the Y chromosome.

Immature sperm cells in the testes do not mature past an early stage, as sensitivity to androgens is required in order for spermatogenesis to complete

CAIS do not have a womb or ovaries

CAIS would know they are not women at puberty. Women get periods. CAIS can not get periods because they have no female sex organ.

Just because their disordered male bodies make people think they are women, doesn't make them women. A woman is not boobies and "passing as" a woman.

Stop with the TRA nonsense.

That's pretty dictatorship and 100% like TRA are wanting society to be.

You: "imprisonment = eww because TRAs want society to be that way".

Give me a break.

like TRA are wanting society to be.

Looks like TRAS got one thing right: imprisonment. They sadly failed, and instead of throwing in prison the people that claim CAIS are women, when they aren't, they throw in prison the people that stand up for the truth.

No matter how "invasive" the tests may be, it's best to run them on everyone to make sure they have no DSDs. If they happen to have DSDs, depending on each case, they will be taught what their sex is.

And if they are too disordered, like CAIS, they will be gotten rid of.

Spend hundreds of millions of dollars to test billion people to find a dozen "wrong" people and put them in prisons? This sounds very unreasonable, insane and vindicative.

You realize that you are advocating for albeistic fascism?

The only kind of "ableism" I have no issue with

Anything to know whether or not someone has a DSD

That's what I am saying about overblown reaction and hateful albeism. Prisons for them and doctors treating them? And spend a lot of money, time, resources for no real reason, except you personally knowing that those 10 people in whole country are diagnosed 30 years earlier than they otherwise would. CAIS is not life-threatening, so there no hurry needed. Because of complete insensitivity to testosterone, they would be weaker than most other females as well. All those money and time could be rather spend on reasearching female-specific diseases and female-specific healthcare - as those are underfunded and underresearched. Even 1/10th of needed money on detecting DSD conditions in everyone would be already more than governments are spending on female health related researches.
