Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD)

In my opinion,one of the major downsides of being xxy is the learning and language difficulties we face right throughout our lives,a condition which makes it all the more difficult for us to blend into mainstream society

My problem is speaking properly.I know what I want to say but I do not know how to put into understanding to someone else.

Hi Aimee
Is there a social group or meeting place in your home town,where people with intersex conditions can get together and if so,is that where you met up ?

Up untill a year back,I attended the Gender Centre here in Sydney in the hope of meeting a fellow xxy'r and as time past I did ............but then some more time past and we had a falling out :confused6 these days my only interaction with the intersex community,is BLO and one other yahoo group.

My reason for attending the G.C was not that I wished to change gender,it was a rather difficult period in my life,where I had sought and was granted estrogen as my preferred treatment.Suprisingly or unsuprisingly my body thrives on estrogen,although I am not a woman and do not identify as such,I know in my heart and soul I am not a "mainstream male" as I never developed along those lines,indeed puberty for me,did not start until the age of 37,upon starting testosterone treatment.
While its true I have an intersex condition (XXY) I do not see my gender as intersex but,rather 'XXY' and try to the best of my capabilities to live my life as such.

Apologies for getting a little off track,I sincerely hope you manage to persuade your friend to pay us a visit here at BLO.

Best Wishes

Dear CC,

This was a by chance meeting- we don't have social or meeting places like people do w/ cancer or diabetes and if he hadn't brought up xxy, I never would of know. I told him about CAH and we chatting about the internet- it was fun.

My gender isn't intersex either. It's just a medical term that described what the adrenal gland sometimes does to females w/ CAH because of lack of cortisol which was corrective like people need insulin for diabetes or synthroid for the evil thyroid.

Anyway he was really nice and outgoing......plus tall.
