How do you explain the female morphology of XY (male) human embryos?

From excrement to implied gender crossing. Interesting, for a conservative Christian.

There is no prenatal "female" morphology for male children in the womb. Mullerian ducts, Wolffian ducts, one develops, one wastes away due to genetic and hormonal influences. If you want to call a genital bud female because it's not a penis, you'll be mistaken.

>>one wastes away due to genetic and hormonal influences.

And adult XY humans with androgen insensitivity syndrome - what morphology to they manifest? Are they recognized as male or female by appearance?

In fact, though sterile, they are ultra-female in appearance. This is because they have virtualy none of the male characteristics that are dependent upon testosterone.

Oh and BTW - these facts were taught in LCMS university Biology classes more than 20 years ago; which is where I learned them.

"A Thoroughbred mare was presented for stallion-like behavior. Reproductive and ultrasonographic evaluation, testosterone assays, and karyotyping confirmed a diagnosis of androgen insensitivity syndrome (64, XY — testicular feminization). Surgery to remove abdominal testicles was successful in alleviating the behavioral abnormality. This condition is discussed with reference to the current literature.

Examination of the reproductive tract revealed normal female external genitalia. On trans-rectal palpation neither a cervix nor a uterus was identifiable. Two firm, smooth oval structures were present within the abdomen where ovaries would normally lie."
