Besides, I wouldn't be too surprised if Princess Kiko's child were
really female but presented to the world as a male. With male hormones
given at the right intervals during the childs life, it could pass as a
male - assuming the child was born female and raised male. Its the
thing television talk shows are made of.

No, I'm sorry -- but this is entirely wrong. On the contrary, there is
a far greater likelylihood of a genetically male child (meaning that he
has an X-Y composition) being mistaken for a female (because of a lack
of proper hormones secreted during the mother's pregnancy), than the
other way around. Femaleness is unequivocal: a person with an X-X
genetic composition can NEVER exhibit masculine traits.

Rather, it's maleness that is highly complicated: the Y-chromosome BY
ITSELF does not guarantee this. What happens is that after such a
sperm cell fertilizes an egg, a special process is triggered. I
believe this is called the H-factor, whereby the expectant mother
secretes antigen (the said hormone).

Insufficient secretion results in the birth of a sexually ambigous
baby: oftentimes, the child is thought of as a girl and raised as such
-- until, of course, puberty. In fact, there are three villages of the
Dominican Republic with this genetic disorder, whereby expectant
mothers carrying male fetuses fail to secrete enough antigen during
their pregnancies. It has become a common enough occurrence for the
villagers to coin a word for such children: MACHIHEMBRA ("first woman,
then man").

It might indeed be possible to inject testosterones into a genetically
female child: but she cannot pass off as male, in the same way that a
male child will appear (in every respect) female -- in the event of a
hormonal deficiency.

Maleness, then, is essentially an aberration -- almost a birth defect:
indeed, a male can basically be regarded as a deformed female -- rather
than a female being some kind of deficient male.

I don't know where you collected your information, but I know two men
who were born female who started taking testosterone: one, at age 18,
the other in his early twenties. There was no way anyone would guess
either one was born female. Their voices were deep, they each had
facial hair, and looked better than most other men. If we didn't work
for the same employer performing mental health counseling at the time
in California, I would have never have known these two men had been
borm female. I may have never seen their "private" parts, but neither
have I ever seen the "private" parts of any other royal family members.


Sorry your story doesn't qualify as crediable.
