    That's basically what they are going to establish through the testing.

    Biologically speaking, a person’s sex is determined by their hardware (penis / vagina); however, in rare circumstances women can have the appropriate "hardware," but the WRONG hormones in her body.

    They check all blood-work levels, and essentially gauge if she is "more woman, then man"... some women just have naturally high testosterone.

    There are endocrine disorders such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia (for more medical detail, check here), that can result in ambiguous genitalia in girls (that can be born looking like boys owing to excess testosterone).

    Are you pre-med, or a doctor all together.



    On a funnier note, ask DSM if he will "check out her hardware"!!!
