So I found out I have Klienfelter's Syndrome. I am intersex with XXY chromosomes. My hormone specialist got me a karyotype after my 7 and a half month followup citing my fast progress as well as symptoms she gleaned from asking me questions about my childhood and puberty.. She figured it would be medically relevant as it would reveal if I have a heightened risk for conditions such as breast cancer.
I read up on the condition before I got the results. It seemed to describe alot about me. I just prayed that it would show my chromosomes were normal.That wasn't the case. Afterwards I felt a large amount of guilt. I knew my transition so far had been smooth. I knew for the most part I passed in public as I was living full time 8 months before I started HRT without a single incident in my conservative, military town. But for the most part I thought it was because I worked hard on blending in. I thought my skill with makeup, voice and body language contributed to a large part of my success so far.. It was something I was proud of.
But now, I found out a good portion of my transition came down to dumb luck. People sometimes tell me in trans circles that they look up to me, that I am an inspiration. But I don't deserve any of that
The only bright side I see to my condition is that I no longer feel bad for not banking any sperm as I was probably infertile anyway.
Has anyone else had a reason outside of their control that has made their transition easier than most. And has knowing of this reason made you feel guilty, or do you feel something else having attained th9is knowledge?
