Stephan's case is more real, in my opinion, than CAIS, .... the word "complete" in androgen insensitivity "grinds" my neurons. I really doubt his existence....
I have no idea what that means.

Dear friend,
You should know that I do not think that there are people with COMPLETE androgen insensitivity...
Androgens are necessary for other functions, more than"tease" to the hair follicles, such as neurosteroids etc.
Thanks for your honesty, I sense that you're not so sure about the existence of the CAIS people.
I measured sebum in hairs of children (both sexes) under 6 years

I have also asked many mothers if their children had fat hair, especially when they spent a few days between washings, and the answer was yes, Amending its odor.

@ryder
the key lies in the sebum flow, if it is removed at the same rate it is manufactured, no problem
I have no doubt whatsoever about the existence of CAIS people. The existence of that syndrome has been SOUNDLY reported by doctors and scientists in the medical literature. Imperato-McGinley used them in a study that measured the production of sebum by various groups of people: young children, adult women, adult males, and finasteride users. Imperato-McGinley found that people with CAIS had no more sebum production than young, prepubescent children (virtually ZERO sebum).
Hair does NOT need sebum; that much is certain, because nobody has ever mentioned that people with CAIS have hair that is "brittle and lusterless". I remember the experiment you did with your children, but I don't remember any conclusion that you reached about it.
