Your text describes several biological influences on sex (congenital adrenal hyperplasia, androgen insensitivity and pelvic field defect). Please describe one of these.

Androgen insensitivity: A condition that occurs in a small number of XY males; a genetic error causes them to lack androgen cells in their bodies. Those with this condition develop bodies that look completely female, are attracted sexually to males, and develop a female gender identity.Pelvic field defect: A condition in which males are missing a penis. They have normal amounts of testosterone but are often castrated just after being born. Efforts for parents to raise these children as girls are mostly ineffective, pointing to the likelihood that normal prenatal exposure to androgens had a stronger influence on gender identity than being raised as girls.Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH): A condition in females caused by enlarged adrenal glands producing abnormally high levels of androgens. Although they are XX females, they vary in how much their genitals look like male or female genitals. CAH females typically grow up thinking of themselves as female but are less content with that gender identity.Accessibility: Keyboard NavigationAPA Outcome: 1.2: Develop a working knowledge of psychology's content domainsAPA Outcome: 4.1: Demonstrate effective writing for different purposesBloom's Taxonomy: UnderstandDifficulty Level: DifficultLearning Objective: Explain biological; social; and cognitive influences on gender.Topic: Hormones100.
