Hello I'm New

[Dr_Owl]

Hello,

I just found this site the other day. I have klinefelter syndrome XXY. I was full of thoughts of what to tell you here but I seem all nervous now.

Anyway I can relate to how you all feel and the expriences yourve had and felt over the years would be similar to my own.

Ive never met anyone else in my life who has klinefelters but if like me they would be worried to tell.

Thanks

Andrew

Klinefelter's is nothing to be ashamed about. I was diagnosed at the age of 22 as being Klinefelter's 47xxy Mosaic. I would say I have learned a lot more about myself in the last year.

I tell just about anyone as long as the conversation goes that way. I am now comfortable with myself whereas I wasn't before. I never saw Klinefelter's as a problem as such, more like a puzzle to be figured out.

When were you diagnosed and how long have you known ? What were the circumstances of your diagnosis ?

It's okay to feel nervous about something that is not commonly talked about but you can talk here and no one will think you weird.

hello there and welcome to the forum.

I think alot of us, are unsure of what to say, in the beginning. Finding out your body is a little different can be a little unsettling. Over time alot of that goes away. I suppose, at least for me,i found a great deal of support from people who understood my own feelings. I felt comfortable here sharing my own experiences. I found comfort in reading others, who's life closely matched my own.

Now, i am out in public. At the local community college. I get a fairly good reception from people. I am a guest speaker in some of the gender studies classes as well. In a way, this forum allowed me to find my voice, my strengths. The people here are great, although over time i have noticed some who dont stop by anymore. I miss a few of them. Without there guidance, i doubt i would of found my way in the world.

Anyways, i am very happy to see you post in the meeting board. Please come back and say hi. We are some very understanding people. Well most of the time.

Best wishes

It was about when I turned 12. Say 1970 LOL!! Anyway I was at the local swimming pool with a few girls and a boy. The girls all laughed and said Andrews getting a figure and its better than ours. I didnt realy take notice at the time.
A year later I started high school and it was a all boys school. Rough as guts. The school had the worst name in the state at the time.
Everyday I had fights from kids trying to pull my boobs etc. I hated every minute of it. Before I left I had a breast reduction surgery. Looks a bit lopp sided these days but nobody much ever notices. Kept the school kids off me hassling. Somebody else here said they didnt do sport...I didnt. I did not seem to have to after all the hassles at school I went through.
Then I got a job a Fitter /Machinist. Working with metal and heavy steel I found I couldnt realy lift. My mum took me to a Dr.. He says try Sustanon250.
It helped a bit. Now Im on heavy duty Testosterone Implants 6x 200mg every 5 months. Some friends, girl friends say I should be in modeling hands LOL! Cause my hands seem realy lady like. I thought it was funny anyway.

I get real moody sometimes and wonder what other people like me think...So thats sort of why I came here.

Now Im just on a Disability Pension. The Govt doesnt want you to be seen. So they pay me to stay at home. LOL!! Sorry its my sick/might be true joke.

Have Fun....

I've had the very same thought myself, scary as it is. Unfortunately my health isn't good enough for me to get a full time job, and I do wonder whether the real purpose of benefits (in UK-speak) is to keep the 'rioting classes' quiet. Maybe I should just listen to my friends when they say I'm too cynical :whatchuta

And I should say, welcome to the forum!
