Living with Turner Syndrome (Missing a X Chromosome)

[@silivror]

My wife had Turner's. We were married 29 years before she passed away last summer following heart surgery. She was so joyful, smart, a talented musician, and such a loving mother to our 2 adopted sons. We miss her so very much. I hear echoes of her in Celeste. Thank you for making this video.

[@svenmarkert6368]

This may be the most educational interview I've seen on your page. It was really interesting to hear about Turner syndrome. Celeste did such an amazing job explaining their challenges.

[@annelien3432]

There are many other aspects to TS, mainly physical ones, that were not mentioned- a huge number of other possible physical traits and some more or less significant health risks, esp. heart and autoimmune conditions. The mental health struggles can come with TS, but often don't, at least not this severe.(As far as I know, we might sometimes have an innate tendency towards anxiety, but the link to depressions is much weaker and strictly caused by the things we can go though, and substance abuse is probably not (much) more common than in the general population). "Learning issues" are typically more a very unique set of strength and weaknesses (good verbal abilities, struggles with e.g. spacial relationships) we can have, that can make some particular subjects harder than others for us, and so on. Also, TS is a condition with a huge variation between different individuals who have it. Celeste wrote somewhere they explained a lot more during the interview, but obviously the video would have been too long. I agree, that they did do an amazing job though. If you are interested in learning more, the TSSUS- Website and KZbin channel- might be a good place to start.

[@luvscats3]

@@annelien3432 Hey! It’s Celeste from the video and thank you so much for so eloquently writing out more info about TS! 😊 As you said in your comment Chris and I did talk about a lot of the possible symptoms of TS, what symptoms I have and their impact on my life. But talking about all of that in addition to our conversation about being LGBT and mental health would have been a 3 hour long video if it was all kept in the final video haha. I would encourage anyone reading this comment and interested in learning more about TS to look up the Turner Syndrome Society of The United States or other similar organizations for more information! Also I will say I had to have open heart surgery recently because of issues with my heart caused by TS. So please anyone with TS reading this make sure you have your heart checked out and if needed monitored regularly by a cardiologist!! Thanks again Annelie I really do appreciate you sharing more info for people!!

My girlfriend has triple x syndrome. She's born with a extra X chromosome . She's taller than average, has broader shoulders, bigger cheekbones, and has trouble learning. She struggles with depression and self confidence too. I didn't know there was a opposite of her condition. It's interesting. You and her are very similar mentally but almost opposite physically

[@annelien3432]

These conditions are "opposites" mentally, as well, if you want to call it that. How many X chromosomes you have does have an effect on cognition. With TS, verbal IQ tends to be higher than performance IQ, or mathematical IQ, if you want to call it that. With Triple X, the exact opposite is true. IF they have any learning disabilities, those with TS tend to be diagnosed with discalculia, those with Triple X (and Klinefelter`s) with dyslexia. That`s actually fascinating, also for thinking about possible average (!) differences between 46XX females and 46XY males. BUT. People with a 45X karyotype and almost any other karyotype within TS tend to be of average intelligence, as are those with a 47XXX karyotype (you can have even more additional X- chromosomes- that tends to come with intellectual disabilities, the more Xs you have, the more pronounced). For us with TS, that translates into average to above average educational outcomes. I am not sure about Triple X though.

[@californium-2526]

@@annelien3432 Triple X has low-average to high-borderline IQ averages (e.g. 80-90 IQ), as far as I know. This translates to slightly worse learning skills than 46,XX and 45,X(0) women and girls. 48,XXXX and 49,XXXXX, two very rare aneuploidies, are the most associated with intellectual disability (e.g. IQ

Yup. I have Turner's syndrome too and mental health struggles aren't talked nearly enough so I appreciate this interview so much.

[@kaitlinkehmna9564]

I have it too. When were you diagnosed?

[@annelien3432]

Hey, I have TS aswell. Maybe you would like to join some Fb groups if you have not already? You are definitely not alone in this.

"Natural human variation" I love this expression :-) I just learned a while ago that my disability falls under the new term NEURODIVERSITY. And I find this endearing somehow and a little cool😄

I've waited for this video!!!!!

Hi, I'm a newly graduated physician that happens to be non-binary (they/them). I've been contemplating going by my pronouns starting in residency and this video helped to give me some courage. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing, Celeste!

[@moniquefiorecna]

This is amazing. I didn't know what this is. I learned something new! I can't wait to see more videos

[@rataretrodos]

Wow! This interview was really really good. She is so insightful and very intelligent.

[@amyandbaby7847]

Wow they have AMAZING parents!! Parents that would actually sit there with you during your treatment, and put themselves in your shoes as an addict/ abuser is just so beautiful to me. And Celeste is such a sweet, cool soul. Def think we could hang out n enjoy eachothers company

[@foamfingermaker]

Human variation is very fitting and appropriate way to describe many peoples struggle with their personal identity. I also do not fully understand that struggle but I have come to accept that people don’t get to chose what normal is for their individual situation. Thank you.
