As far as I know, people with Swyer Syndrome can have uterus although the "ovary" would not be developed normally, this is a problem with SRY gene. They could become pregnant through donated eggs, though. The XX male analogue is De La Chapelle, which I read, they basically "shoot blank" and does not have properly developed testes. But the poster is obviously bullshitting because you can't menstruate without ovary.The uterus does not secrete hormones; any additional sex hormones produced outside of the gonads originate from the adrenal glands.
And just FYI, people with CAIS (XY karyotype, female external phenotype) do not have uteruses, either. They have a vagina, but it ends in a pocket.
You are correct about Complete AIS not having uterus. They're still technically male and born with balls - the body just has trouble utilising testostorone. Socially, I guess it isn't wrong to treat them as women as they had been raised and seen as a girl in current cultural practices. Though some of them actually come to acknowledge themselves as male, even if they look ostensibly feminine to others. (While some see themselves as female.) - This depends on what they think about gender in general, which is social matter.
There's still a lot of dissimilarities between them and normal female as Amber the Hedgehog mentioned some pages back. While they do have some female secondary characteristics, their "puberty" is still unlike female, along with lacking adult body hair and acne. They tend to have different bone density, larger teeth, and body proportion that's more closer to pre-pubescent boys than average females, having larger skulls and longer limbs, different hormonal profiles. Which mean they're also advantageous in sports compared to real female (Unlike the common misconception that people thought they're 'indistinguishable from normal women') Their faces look masculine in a similar way to child troons like Jazz or castrati imo, but not a proper grown men.
