Hi Ryan, I live in Australia and have a hubby who has Klinefelter's.He is probably on the higher end of the spectrum with more obvious physical symptoms also he wasn't diagnosed till in his late twenties. After one missed diagnosis he was eventually diagnosed in his early thirties. We have been happily married for 50 years and have 2 sons( with a little medical assistance) and now 3 grand babies. My husband has had some hard times in life, mainly because he wasn't diagnosed young enough. But when you love someone you learn to roll with the punches. So glad there is someone talking about this.❤

I’m 38 from Michigan, I found out I had klinefelters at 8yrs old they told me back then you probably won’t ever accomplish anything. Crazy! I use androgel it’s expensive for sure. I’ve taken testosterone my whole life. They (drs) told me I’d probably not even pass high school back then (80’s). I graduated from a college prep school and now I do laser surgeries across the USA. Never let anyone tell you you can’t do something because of any conditions you may have. Fight to get what you want in life..

Late last year, I lost a grandson at 20 weeks gestation because of the genetic testing results my son and his wife received. Their son was going to have Kleinfelter’s Syndrome. The mother opted for a midterm abortion. And I am still grieving the loss of this precious life that I couldn’t save. Thank you for validating my beliefs, that this child should have had the chance to have a life. That he wouldn’t have been be a lifelong “burden” to his older brother. You’re to be commended for sharing your life story with others, and I thank you.

You are very brave to post videos about your XXY diagnosis and I’m really proud of you. It’s very important to get correct information out to the public. Like your diagnosis, many disorders are on a spectrum and most people don’t understand that. Sometimes google is awesome and sometimes it’s got a lot of information that is not updated. Sites like the Mayo Clinic should be more diligent about the information they publish. I look forward to watching your other videos and future posts. Keep up the good work. 😊

I just want to share that my son was diagnosed prenatally via amnio testing. Sadly, the ignorant geneticist during the beginning of our pregnancy recommended termination. Luckily we went for a 2nd opinion and realized that Klinefelters Syndrome is manageable and it is not the gloom and doom outlined by the 1st terrible geneticist. With the prenatal diagnosis we were able to get Early Intervention at 10 months of age to help with the low muscle tone. He started school with an IEP and then changed to a 504 Plan. Knowledge is power and knowing the KS diagnosis ahead of time is a blessing since you can read up on KS and be the best advocate for your child. We are blessed to have our wonderful son! KS is the most common chromosome disorder in males and occurs in 1 in 500 males but only 10% of cases are indentified in childhood. Best of luck and congratulations with your Xtra special baby!💖

I am now 67. My mom was a school teacher also a registered nurse. She stopped nursing when I and my sisters started elementary school, and became a teacher. She tried everything she could to help me not knowing I was XXY. All through elementary, middle and high school I struggled. On my high school graduation document was written "Not recommended for college". I was diagnosed at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN in 1987 during a physical prior to hip surgery. When I hit 30 I was laid off. My company provided education funds. I used it to go to college. From the junior college entrance exam, they required remedial courses of math and English - along with a "How to Study" course. The How To Study course was freaking amazing! Had I this course in high school, I would have shined. Knowing I had great difficulty with Math, I saved those classes form last. When I started my first math class I was at a 4.0 GPA. While in college during a biology course, I was the only male in this class. The rest were female nursing students. I sat in the front row. In one class my teacher described what an XXY male was like. "They have pear shaped bodies, have female breasts and are mentally retarded". Wow! On the day of my final exam, I waited until all students walked out, and when I handed my test to the teacher, I said "do you remember when you described XXY males to our class? I want you to know not all XXY males have pear shaped bodies with female breasts and are mentally retarded". I told her that I am XXY!" She was shocked! I graduated with a 3.5 GPA with honors. I retired from IBM in 2016.

Used to get that as a boy and it really bothered me when with my father as he was a male chauvanist. By my teens I embraced anarchy, proto goth culture, the arts and paganism and have never been happier. I have had kids, so I guess the KS is mild. Im a pacifist, learning when I was young was a problem due to hearing a deficiency that was never catered for in school, it was eighties London after all. I have never been very muscular, hairy or matho thank fk. At the age of 54, weight around the midriff is a slight problem of sorts possibly because I can't exercise due to liver related problems and a lack of enthusiasm. So I have reawakened the goth as my kids are now adults and have a long black mohican. I sometimes wear big fk off army boots with a long pencil skirt, or biker leathers and mohsir jumpers, it all depends on how I feel. I guess I am trying to say that I have learned to embrace the burning inside and am relatively at peace with myself. Once the chronic depression, weight and liver problem has totally improved, I will be fine. Be yourselves and ignore the criticisms of others who are usually insecure themselves. Dark light love to all.

I was diagnosed with klimefelters syndrom when I was born. They told me when I was 9 about what it is.im 18 years old now I started taking testosterone shots every month and for the rest of my life. I have so much trouble with highschool and the stress catches up to you. I thought I was the only one with this condition and I get emotional about it. But hearing other people in these comments makes me feel better about it. If I can loose 126 lbs I know I'm capable of doing anything. Thank you for everything.

I have some questions have you always felt different like you're more than just male I say this because I have felt like that for most of my life.but I also thought I was a chimera because my mother had a miscarriage when she was pregnant with me and my twin and I kind of thought that it was a female and i absorbed some of her DNA. I say this because although my identical twin was a lot like me. There's a lot of difference between us. I was passing for 16 up to the age 44... did this happen to you?

I'll just tell you - as a gay man - there's nothing "wrong" with you. You are very attractive and you shouldn't feel in any way abnormal. If you are a great guy, then that's it. You are a great guy. And thus you are a catch.

Great video!. My husband has KS he's thoughtful, kind, artistic, clever, a quick learner, great in social surroundings, fantastic photography, maintained a career all his life, he can put his hands at anything, great car and bike fanatic, not much into physical exercise other than mountain biking, not into sports other than motor racing, he's great with children, funny, forgiving, patient, sometimes emotional outbursts but over as quick as it comes, always remembers birthdays/anniversary, can chat for England yet has his time of reservedness. We give each space, which is a good thing.He would have been a great father but that is KS's downfall (infertility) he's a great uncle to his nieces, a great dad to my son, our son now, and a great grandad to his grandson. I wouldn't change him for the world, I love him, flaws and all, for he loves me flaws and all. Nobody in life is perfect, there is no perfection in life, whether a male has xxy xx or xy. Dealing with and understanding KS is important. However it should not be a hindrances in ones life, you can be anything you want to be in life, the power of the mind is a powerful component that were gifted with, having good support, emotional understanding and most of love and acceptance life can be very rewarding.

I understand what you mean about a spectrum. When I tell others I’m autistic they expect me to sit on the floor spinning plates or rocking myself, not someone who’s had a successful nursing career and held leadership roles. I googled Klinefelter’s and clicked on Mayo Clinic and one of the first things it says is how there is a very wide variation in how people are affected and some people never know that they have it.

My late partner and best friend had Klinefelter Syndrome. He identified as a gay man, and was diagnosed in his early teens. With testosterone replacement, he, like you, to all outside appearances was a normal, handsome man. Excuse me if I'm being too graphic, but except for small testes and some dyslexia (which may or may not have had anything to do with having an extra X chromosome) there was nothing particularly unusual about him. Then again, he was exceptionally lanky with large hands, and was a notable and fun risk taker (among other things, he loved hang gliding and sky diving), which were all qualities that were different from his parents and siblings and may have been associated with Klinefelters. Thanks for posting your video.

I lived with a guy with this, he was undiagnosed at 24 years old. He was functional but did have issues with anxiety, emotions etc, he got into horses with me and I think that helped. His body shape was very similar to yours. I once told him to talk to his GP as I felt there was something with him not quite right, and he was told to go away and stop making things up, basically 😢. We parted ways, but remained friends, amd he was eventually diagnosed, about 15 years after I told him to seek help. He’s been on testosterone ever since. This was years back, he’s almost 70 now.

I researched chromosomal anomalies in college. I think you are a beautiful human being. I feel so fortunate that I educated myself. Because what you are saying is so right. More should be done for those with chromosome variations in the realm of normalization and acceptance. I love that you are educating the masses. It is more normal than one might think. Even for those with extra “Y” chromosomes. I hope you feel special and blessed and not made to feel otherwise by ignorant people. Just know you are loved by so many of us. I hate when others say you look normal. I say you are normal. Everyone should see it that way. ❤❤❤
