Klinefelter's syndrome is a genetic disorder which means that men have an XXY chromosome set up rather than the usual XY (for a male). The XXY almost always causes feminisation of men or anti-masculinisation. Klinefelter's syndrome can be extreme or non-apparent depending on the person. Usual symptoms can be :
Enlarged breasts Wide hips
Voice not breaking
Narrow shoulders
Long arms or legs
testicular atrophy (smalltesticles)
infertility
Klinefelter's syndrome, 47, XXY or XXY syndrome is a condition caused by a chromosome aneuploidy. Affected males have an extra X sex chromosome. The principal effect is small testes development and reduced fertility. A variety of other physical and behavioral differences and problems are common, though severity varies and many boys and men with the condition have few detectable symptoms. It is the second most common extra chromosome condition, and is named after Dr. Harry Klinefelter, an endocrinologist at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, who first described it in 1942. The condition exists in roughly 1 out of every 500 to 1,000 males.
"What's wrong with that guy? Is he gay?"
"No, he has Klinefelter's syndrome"
"So is he a dude or a chick?"
-_- "Anyone with a Y chromosome is biologically considered male."
A chromosomal abnormality. Typically, affected cells have one y and two x chromosomes (contrast the y and x of cells in a normal male). People with this non-disorder often exhibit vaguely sinister androgyny and an independent and empirical worldview unrestrained by populargender expectations.
That tall angry guy with the hourglass figure has Klinefelter Syndrome. He's sterile. He diverts his creative instincts toward art, vigilantee suicide missions, and hormonal spazzing. Don't fuck with him, he's wild.
When you fail at something in life (eg. failing an exam or not getting a job), go home and spend an hour just standing in the shower, propping yourself up against the wall with your eyes on your feet.
Caleb knew the only thing to do after he didnt get prefect was take a failure shower.
