Ever heard about Klinefelter's Syndrome?
Topic isn't exactly cd related but anyway I still share interesting find :) You 'll understand.
So what is it? Klinefelter's Syndrome (KS) is genetic "mutation" in male sex chromosomes. We know normaly male have XY and female XX. But person with KS have XXY (or even more then one extra X), which looks kind of half female right? But moving on.
What catche my eye most is fact that me personaly actualy posses some of KS features! (Or i think I do :D ) Maybe that is one of reason of my cding? Why I kind of feel like half girl?
The typical features of KS in an adult are:
Small testicles (testes). - eh, never compared to anyone :D
Decreased facial hair compared to a usual male. - well i kind of have less facial hair and definetly way less body hair.
Some breast tissue development (gynaecomastia). - here goes my man boobs :D
Decreased pubic hair compared to a usual male. - as cd, I wish that to be true :)
A tall, thin body with disproportionately long arms and legs. - yeah kind of true. My arms and hand specialy are samll and "girlish" and thights and butt also not typical for males (some gg's in past said that I have girls legs, like what? :D )
Obesity - this may cause a thicker waistline but it is often partially disguised by wider-than-normal hips. - true about hips.get rid of few pounds of weight and hourglass figure start appear again a little bit.
Does anyone else have kind if same features and things?
Also,next i find this info:
Children and adolescents with KS may also have:
A delay in the age of first walking.
A condition which causes co-ordination problems (dyspraxia).
Speech and language delay or difficulties.
Attention problems.
Mild learning disabilities.
A condition which causes problems with reading, writing or spelling (dyslexia). - yup got dysgraphia
Behavioural problems - boys tend to be shy and have low self-confidence; they may appear to be immature when compared to their peers. - i agreed with this too
In adulthood, in addition to the main typical features:
You may also have problems getting an erection and have a low sex drive (libido). - sex drive is kind of lazy in me :D
Anxiety and depression may be a problem. - lot of time i feel like that
'Thinning' of the bones (osteoporosis) may develop in young or middle age rather than the usual older age for this condition.
You may also be less muscular than other men. - definetly i got less muscle
Most men who are 47, XXY have normal intelligence. However, your intelligence may be affected if you have a higher number of X chromosomes. - having iq 131 counts too? :D
Almost all men who are 47, XXY will be infertile. - not sure , having baby is too soon for me :D
So what you think, does anybody hear about KS? Do you think you have KS features? Personaly think I have some features. Hell yeah, half girl :D But it definetky isn't reason for cd or any gender related thing. Since those are more "mind based" then some weird genetic thing in your body, but who know actualy.
Okay, I wrote enought already. I should stop :D
Please add your opinion!
Ash ;)
my chromosomes were checked,my cortisone checked
As a kid i had tanner stage breast growth on one side of my body.i had a milky discharge. Doctors tried to remove the fluid with a large syringe
It hurt. Was instructed to use hot towels on the raised areola. Surgery to remove it was offered.
I had a slim figure with a butt and hips but i lost the hips and have stretch marks where my hip fat was that have since faded.
I have Hugh leg muscles but not much in arms despite having body building for six years.
I was told by a famous transsexual that i would look good as a girl.
Any little bit of progestorone sends my testorone in a spike.
I have gotten progestorone for insect bites,foot swelling,allergic reactions and more.
