Re: Klinefelter's syndrome
It's a very complicated issue. I don't know her, so I can't speak to her specifics, but intersex conditions while not common aren't entirely uncommon either among trans people. Intersex conditions are actually comprised of 50 or so separate biological variations.
Intersex conditions involving malformed genitalia are typically diagnosed at birth. Other, less obvious intersex conditions aren't typically diagnosed unless it intersects with another medical issue. Because an intersex condition can alter how HRT is administered, it's often explored with a Transsexual when there is cause to be concerned.
Adding complication to this is the normal variation in feminization/ masculinization of human beings AND that a number of transfolks have claimed "intersex" beyond it's medical application in an effort to gain social acceptance.
Unless you are privy to someone's medical records, its tough to say who is or isn't. Ultimately it doesn't matter. Society treats anyone transitioning from one gender to another as transsexual, regardless of whether it's a proper medical diagnosis.

Lower IQ scores are often seen with Klinefelter's syndrome; that's why folks are raising it.
