Thanks everyone for your comments. Yesterday I followed some leads and found a yahoogroup that seems to be semi-active and I did some investigating on the ISNA website.
This debate about male/female support groups interests me... I guess I can see why males would not necessarily be welcome in most groups. It kind of leads me to blindly speculate about why there's no groups for AIS males out there. Is it because there are statistically fewer of us? Because more of us are "in the closet"?
In my own case, I think I did have my back turned on my condition for a long time. For many years I was told that I was born a male and the surgery and hormonal treatment was to make me more like what I was "supposed to be." So I just didn't think about it for a long time. I guess I couldn't really complain, since I can sympathize with my parents somewhat and besides, the health complications associated with my case are relatively few compared to some of my cousins and relatives with AIS.
When I turned 21 I had a full disclosure session with the endocrinologist who was in charge of my case since childhood. It was then that I started to find it difficult to ignore my PAIS, especially since doubts were raised about whether or not I could produce sperm-- I'd always wanted to have kids and this felt like a big blow to me.
After I got back to school last December I started sliding big-time in my work. I didn't graduate on time and am currently still slogging away at my degree. My therapist thinks these two areas of my life are connected: that I put work off to keep my mind occupied so I don't have to worry about these gender identity and sexual issues floating up there in the ether. The more I think about it, the more I'm inclined to agree. My parents told me to keep my condition under wraps for so long, who knows what it was doing to me on the inside? I'd like to be more honest about myself.
Anyway, that's me in a nutshell. Thanks for listening, I guess I gotta keep moving...
