Usually XX males and XY females are only detected because they go to a doctor due to infertility. Hormone treatment is a pretty common initial approach.
It was discovered over 20 years ago that it's not the Y chromosome that determines maleness, rather a rider chemical called HY Antigen. And in unusual cases that chemical can ride on an X chromosome, creating what's described here, an XX male.
Yes, they're males: they have normal health and intelligence.
Did that line jump out at anyone else?
It stated that they have normal health and intelligence, because it's an important thing to emphasize, to distinguish these cases from other kinds of cases involving sex chromosomes (various sex chromosome abnormalities are often associated with bodily and cognitive symptoms of different degrees of severity, depending on the individual).
These genetic females/physiological males are infertile though and can't produce sperm, so that's one bodily effect.
H-Y antigen was once thought to be the testis determining factor, but has been since shown to be false by demonstration of H-Y negative males. The gene Sry (sex determining region on the y chromosome) is the master switch. As mentioned in the article, SOX9 is a downstream gene. Another gene SOX3 was also recently identified.

Interesting they use the word behavior, as if there were stereotypical psychological differences between the sexes.
If their health is normal, why were they given testosterone?

So all their children will be genetically female. Hmm...
