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

      Germany has more castles than there are McDonald's in the United States. Yep, you heard that right. Germany is estimated to have 25,000 castles, and there are around 13,000 McDonald's locations in America.   In Washington state, there's a real-life law stating it's illegal to kill bigfoot and other sasquatch-like creatures.

      DREAD f you’re anticipating something positive, you’re probably motivated to summon all your patience to wait for it—and sometimes for extended time periods. It may be counter-intuitive, yet in certain instances such waiting can itself be gratifying. Consider Carly Simon’s song “Anticipation,” the old Heinz ketchup ads, and—especially—recent research pointing in the opposite direction as regards awaiting something highly aversive. In this post I won’t be reviewing ketchup commercials, but I will be exploring some intriguing research on dread-infused anticipation.

      So an update from me.   Had my endo appointment last night. Went very well and they are sending 3 months supply of estrogen (estradoil patches) and the anti-androgens whilst my Dr gets a shared care agreement sorted out. So happy, should start HRT tomorrow!! Cost for the 3 month supply is £70 total for me, so not too bad. Not told my parents about this yet, but them being in spain, not sure they need to know yet.   Can't wait to start, just got to think about where to put the patches now and wait for the changes...

      Good Morning    well it’s Friday for most, pay day for some.  For me it’s pay day but not Friday.  I work the same opening shift tomorrow.  I typically have Friday on Saturday and Monday on Tuesday.     @KymmieL it does sound like your shop has an issue and you are smack in the thick of it.  The new gal or guy often is.  We have an issue with new people not getting fully trained before being turned loose on customers.  Some struggle through it and some quit because of it.  I try to get them working with customers as quickly as I can but I stay right with them observing, helping, even jumping in when things are getting backed up to keep the stress down.  Not everything comes up during training so when things do, even later after trying is done, I try to help and explain.  Our ASM feels that once she has you scanning barcodes and taking money she is done training.  Generally, refuses to train me on things that she does, and questions why I’m doing something that she normally handles when I’ve been told to do it as part of my advancement training.     She and the cashier involved both keep trying to toss the manager under the bus over a hours of work issue and shifts.  I tell her I realize her issues and I’ll work what ever she needs.  Because of that I tend to get a better more consistent schedule.   Well, time to say Happy Trails to you, until we meet again.   Hi ho Silver, away   Willow

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.
