  • wp:Klinefelter syndrome

    Klinefelter syndrome (KS), also known as 47,XXY, is a chromosome anomaly where a male has an extra X chromosome.[10] These complications commonly include infertility and small, poorly functioning testicles (if present). These symptoms are often noticed only at puberty, although this is one of the most common chromosomal disorders, occurring in one to two per 1,000 live births. It is named after American endocrinologist Harry Klinefelter, who identified the condition in the 1940s.[4][5][11]

    IMO FWIW, thon is more of a woman than Caitlyn Jenner.

    • Cool. Thanks for your queerphobic take.

      • Disagreement with the politically correct about transgender is necessarily transphobic.

        • Do tell me where you studied genetics at a graduate level to make the determination you just made.

          Otherwise yeah, you're being a queerphobe.

          • Your right: only the elite and/or those with a university degrees can discuss this issue.

            • You are defining a woman by her genes. So yes, I expect you to have a university degree to be able to make such an authoritative definition.

              Just like I would expect you to have a degree in physics before making an authoritative definition based on properties of physics.

              Believe it or not, Facebook University isn't a real university.

                Several decades ago, the authorities on the subject regarded homosexuality as a mental disorder. Fortunately not all LGBT lay-people deferred to their judgements.

                So I need a degree to say "E=mc2."

                Believe it or not, Facebook University isn’t a real university.

                I never joined that site.

                • You are seriously doing the "science was wrong before" argument while trying to use science?

                  The whole point of science is that new ideas replace old ones when new information comes up.

                  I don't think you understand what science even is.

                    Agreed.

                    Did you know that Trump has a university degree and Dubya Bush went to Harvard and Yale?

                    • You keep saying irrelevant things. You also have yet to define a woman. Isn't that interesting?

                      • A woman is a human female.

                        If a person has XX chromosomes, quite probably she is a woman.

                        Most people who describe themselves as women have XX chromosomes.
