Now imagine that they presented as female at birth (which is normal for androgen insensitivity syndrome), and so they don't bother doing any test to determine the chromosomal sex, and they grow up as female.

They have a blood test for something unrelated when they're 25, and it reveals they have XY chromosomes.

Do you suddenly consider them male now?

Yes.

What you're ignoring is that sex is pretty arbitrary and people can express themselves however they wish. Him being male wouldn't make me treat him differently and I would understand if he wants to continue life presenting as female, but I would expect birth certificate corrections and official forms to be dealt with according to who he is.

Regarding gender dysphoria, I'm not comfortable encouraging a mental affliction, and them not being able to cope when people react based on what they percieve further solidifies that the person has a head issue, not a labelling problem.

In your world, we define everything based on chromosomes, so I'm not sure why you automatically go to male with an extra X instead of female with a Y.

Because the male X chromasome is different from female ones. It's a male defect.

Now, what about a chimera that has some XX cells and some XY cells?

They're a chimera, ideally what bits are male and which are female would be documented by their doctor. I'd suggest they write chimera or N/A.
