In a person with CAIS, the mother's body releases the Testosterone, but the baby's body has no reaction to it. Because of this, the child's body and even its brain develop female. The child does still have an XY (male) chromosome. This causes a female body, built on a skeleton that is essentially male.

Unfortunately, the child ends up with a very shallow vagina, no uterus, and testicles (where ovaries belong). These people look, and think like females, though they are frequently incapable of having sexual intercourse.
