It doesn't matter if Jamie Lee Curtis was born intersexed or not. She is a real person and is entitled to live her life in privacy. But the information that accompanied this arrticle is interesting.

I don't think this TOPIC willoffend anyone, but please know it is placed here for information, only. Personally, I know very little about the condition, and it is my understanding that even the term 'Intersex' is questionable.

That's interesting, Lizzy....

Because I received an e-mailk recently saying this about her and did the snopes and read that very same page!

I agree with you, though...Intersexed is one condition that I know very little about!

HUGGS!

Because intersexed isn't one indelible condition. It ranges from minor chromosomal anomalies to true hermaphroditism.

Yeah, from what I've been taught there are eight different types of Intersexuality. So it would be a rather difficult topic to grasp one definition of.

Hi Lizzy,

I do find this is an interesting topic. That's because you are right about those persons who are born with intersex conditions. They have a right to live their lives in peace without people making assumptions behind their backs.

Intersex conditions together affect a large group of people. A lot more than meets the eye. Many of the people that have intersex conditions never know it.

I am an intersex person. I have a intersex condition known as Klinefelters Syndrome, otherwise known as xxy or 47 xxy. There are variables in this condition such as more x chromosomes or more y chromosomes. As well there are mosaics which is a combination of variables.

I believe that being xxy and not realizing it for most of my life helped to make my life miserable. At times it was really embarrassing not knowing why I didn't seem to fit in anywhere. Now I am a trans person but I still will always be intersex.

I just want to say this to the "normal" people. If you aren't an intersex person, you will never know what it feels like.

Love,

Thtufus

I hestitate to say this in open forum - my theraist and my prescribing physician have both told me I am most probably intersexed (if that makes sense), but I won't pursue it.

I was fertile enough to have three children, so I doubt it is a severe Klinfelters Syndrome, more probably double sexed as I apparenty had surgery down there at birth. My parents were very careful to raise me as a male. I was a docile child. I grew extremely tall and was very thin most my life, NEVER able to play sports, but I did not have trouble scholastically, so who knows. My T level before starting HRT was in a woman's range, 140 - my HRT dosages are lower than most..

I AM transsexual and have been my entire life. So I did transition the last two years - and now I feel I belong on this earth - for the first time.

Whatever it is, we do suffer, just because we are 'different' somehow. Sad...

Maybe some day people will realize all the miseries people suffer from hidden birth abnominalies.

One thing I have figured out since I began to learn about xxy and intersex transitioning is to never criticize other people's ideas about their genetic realities. From what I have learned about xxy is that not all of us are sterile. Not all of us are male either, but you can't explain that to a doctor. I have a friend that goes to my support group who says she has a moderate form of Klinefelters Syndrome and she has fathered 4 daughters. When I first heard this, I was quite put out but since then I've come to the conclusion that even the doctors don't know what it's all about. Who am I to talk?

When I went to see my therapist, I used to talk often about xxy and GID. The psychiatrist said the two are not connected, but after a couple of years of therapy, he came back and said that there's a good possibility that there is a connection. He said he believes that because he has had other patients with the same story.

Tall and thin is one of the symptoms of xxy but many of us are short and pear-shaped. I am the latter. Because of my poor self esteem I was quiet and easy to get along with. My mother said that as a small child, I would sit by myself on the porch.

Anyways, apparently the only way to know for sure if you have xxy is to have your blood drawn and get a karyotype.

You could also have another type of intersex too especially if you had infant surgery. Most people who are transsexuals don't reveal much about their intersex conditions because, as it says in the DSM IV, the diagnosis (of GID) will not be made if the individual has a physical intersex condition.

I know that J L C was born with double Y genes and that she has led more than just an ordinary happy life, but is well adjusted with her own children and success that few achieve in this world and that is despite having at the minimum ,a dysfunctional father, but blessed with a warm and wonderful mother..

I think her mom was the murdered actress in Psycho.

I could be wrong...

I donno

I am kinda sorry I opened up this door - I mean personally. I just want to be what I know I am, and it's complicated when the idea of 'intersexed' comes into play. THAT is why I won't pursue it.

I met Jamie Lee waiting for my father coming home on a flight from London, England. I sat against a wall next to her and talked to her for about 45 minutes. She was very charming and very friendly. She was waiting for her boyfriend on the same flight. Regardless of her "status" she is a very nice woman.

Hugs,

Isabella

      So, yesterday's epiphany was that girl jeans fit me much nicer than boy jeans. Well, duh! So this girl is switching over to wearing girl jeans pretty much full time. I'll keep my others for work jeans. We went out to dinner last evening and I was in androgynous mode...wearing a pair of Bandolino Amy straight leg denim pants. Score!

      Good morning, everyone!! The coffee upload has started for me but just in the early stages so I'm barely coherent at this point.   You've been missed @Willow - I hope all is going well with your wife and at work.   @awkward-yet-sweet We love to make beans with rice - one of our favorite meals.   No big plans for me today. Small projects around our place and probably some reading. We're going to have some rain off and on, and the temps are still too low for a lot of outdoor work.   Be safe and enjoy this beautiful day we've been given!!

      Hi   boy you back to work and miss lots.  No time to catch up right now. But I will.   just wanted to let everyone know I’m still here.   willow

      Thanks, @VickySGVfor some truth. Hatred may speak loudly in a political agenda, but there is always love, there is always love.

      Doesn't this belong over in the Humor Topic??  Grim humor I admit, but it has the dark humor picture of the folks protesting the Sacramento Sanctuary Laws.  If the world is going to end next week why are these people so concerned about someone staying fertile and able to have children??   Crazy.
    • VickySGV
      Once again the opposition is telling scary, unfounded  baloney about what IS being done to any Trans Person.  The truth about the very little and very cautious treatments just will not sink into them because it will sink them.  They bully their own Cis children unmercifully to fit into their molds, and that is gruesome in itself. I am happy to say I know that Trans children and all Trans folks in the area have access to wonderful care based on what some of my former State colleagues who have Trans family members and fellow employees there in Sacramento keep telling me about.

      good for you dear. my guess is soreness is good sign things are going on there. water them n hope. smiles   actually was speaking to someone other day n they said the growth leveled off after a few years  which coincided with a few years of very high stress..n then when the high stress resolved, she grew another cup size..
    • missyjo
      darling I completely agree. but it will need road testing I'd think.    and I recently asked a surgeon about an idea I had for easier recovery...do a zero depth 1st..recover then add a canal..he said NO. this surgery is hard enough on body to recover, do not do it any more than needed. also said penile inversion usually is sufficient n includes a few centimeters of perineum tissue anyway..so keep the perineum pull through as a reserve technique in case there is a problem with theb penile inversion.    hugs to any who want them

      I can't tell from the article if being trans was part of the motivation for the crime, or whether it was simply incidental to it. Clearly at least one of the perpetrators was known to the victim, which seems to continue the pattern that the most dangerous people for us are often people we know.  😒
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Beans, beans, the musical fruit...   But beans and rice make a complete protein, and a pretty cheap base for any sort of meal. Since two of my partners are Hispanic and one is Asian, we use a lot of rice. Plenty of beans too, although 90% of the time they are on the form of black-eyed peas. That crop grows really well in the South no matter how hot and dry it gets.  And the Native American trio of corn, beans, and squash is a classic.  Actually, those ingredients tend to show clearly whether kids were raised with a healthy diet or not. Kids raised eating those foods luke them. Kids raised without experiencing those foods tend to reject them immediately. Rather strange.

      I feel a little better about going outside. I got my EpiPen just in case of an emergency. Today was rough started euphoric and then depression hit real hard and I don't even know what it was about. It just happened. I want to see a bright future but it turns dim because of something. I was disappointed on how much supplemental insurance was more than regular health insurance. I enjoy seeing other successful people making it as a couple through everything in fact I cheer them on but it just makes me think if I will find anyone. I barely dated anyone when I was physically fit male and then it seems the older I get it gets harder. Not to mention everyone down here leaves as soon as they find out I'm trans. It's only going to get more difficult because of borderline personality disorder. It's dang near seems impossible that people would even put up with that. After all that I'm still trying to be positive and hope for the best but I always expect the worst and that has always been the case. Pushing 40 and I haven't even experienced true love.
