Androgen insensitivity describes the condition by which an XY fetus never receives the signals from the mother's body that are supposed to let their body mold itself into a boy. The term "androgen insensitive" means their bodies cannot detect the androgen the mother released in response to their Y chromosome.
The subsequent children look and act like girls, because they are girls, though ones with an inability to reproduce. The first sign anything is wrong is not getting a menstruation cycle, and this is when the now teenager finds out they are infertile.
Each case must be evaluated individually, but most androgen insensitive individuals find they are not hindered in any alternative family planning goal they wish. They marry, or not, adopt children, or not, and have no more members discovering they are gay than is normally distributed in the population.
There is no reason for anyone to feel strange about what is, to the body, no different than some people wheezing after eating strawberries or shellfish.

Yes, it has been observed in many species like horses, dogs and cats.

However it is not called androgen insensitivity syndrom but testicular feminization or male pseudo-hermaphroditism.
