Re: Klinefelter's syndrome
Probably should've posted something about Klinefelter syndrome since many won't look it up on wikipedia.
Klinefelter syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Re: Klinefelter's syndrome
So Freddy... Still looking for a syndrome to explain the undersized dick & other feminine traits you can't seem to convince the boards you don't have? I'm thinking Kimber James can speak for herself. Even if she has a chromosomal difference, I've never seen evidence that she's insecure about it. ...Or anything else for that matter.
Re: Klinefelter's syndrome
So, Freddie- is this something you read, or did you "notice" Kimber's genetic structure looking at her pics?

From my observations I believe it if a transwomen is also born with this infliction it will make them much more passable than a broad shouldered transwoman who will most likely never pass due to masculine bone structure.
Just my thoughts.
What does everybody else think?
How do you know someone is XXY w/o knowing anything about the condition?
Depending on how serious it is, a person could be a slightly retarded, balding middle aged man with B cups.
Not none of you guys though, most of you are cool.

umm...karyotype analysis!!!
until i see someone's karyotype analysis, i doubt they have Klinefelter syndrome, including kimber's diagnosis. its like chrissy snow saying she is intersexed. i think it is more marketing than reality.
Re: Klinefelter's syndrome
Considering that severity can vary, it would definitely be interesting if someone did a study on a large group of trans women to see if there is an elevated percentage of XXY compared to the standard male population.
I really doubt I have it though. I have a very feminine frame despite starting hormones at 23 and am slightly above average height, but I've got an IQ in the 150 range and a pretty big peen. Then again, I definitely wouldn't mind being tested to find out. :)
Re: Klinefelter's syndrome
Karyotyping is used to look at all of the chromosomes in order to assess for aneuploidy (abnormal chromosomes).Abnormalities may consist of a chromosomal deletion, insertion or translocation. It usually takes a week or two for results to be produced when testing a person versus testing a fetus that takes 36-72 hours.
As in Kimber's supposed diagnosis of Klinefelter's, it's merely an insertion. Hope this helps.
Re: Klinefelter's syndrome
I have what would be considered a Klinefelter body type, but I don't have the syndrome. My IQ is in the mid 130's-low 140's. I've tested negative. Some people are just born with feminine features. It doesn't have to be pathologized.
