So beautiful. Very cool. Unconditional love and support. Always loved her as an actress. Wonderful that she is so supportive of Ruby.

Just damn glad they came.

I LOVE Jamie Lee Curtis. She's always been such an advocate for progressive causes. I didn't realize she has a trans child.
She's wonderful!

This society is so backward, snarky and nasty about things they don't understand.
What is so wrong about letting people express who they really are, loving who they want to love and being true to themselves?

(730 posts)Complete androgen insensitivity syndrome. The receptors on their cells responsible for sexual development of male gentitalia, testes, and secondary sexual charcteristics just don't respond to the androgens secreted in utero and at puberty...AT ALL! She's considered intersex, as is her sister. Wonderful that she supports her child.

(730 posts)at a convention in the Caymans. I first learned about this upon reading about her experiences folllowing that same events, (which is saying something because I'm always looking into new & rare pathogens, syndromes & disease processes.) ONCE AGAIN, the rumor was that she was a hermaphrodite, when she isn't. She's just in the state, PERPETUALLY SPEAKING, we ALL start life in.

(1,925 posts)Would that be the "CAIS 2016" event?
Otherwise known as that year's "Cayman Alternate Investment Summit" event?

This was a gathering at which the topics were financial, not physical or sexually themed, despite the CAIS acronym that also happens to apply to the condition you reference.
Jay Leno and Meghan Markle were speakers at the CAIS 2016 as well.
I think that perhaps the CAIS acronym for the financial summit has been conflated with the one for the physical condition when it comes to Jamie Lee Curtis. If you have a link to any record of Jamie Lee Curtis speaking about actually having this condition, please post it and correct me.
