@@LivingwithXXY That's the answer. If you're diagnosed while you're already enlisted, that's different. Thanks a million for your reply.

My husband has KS It started when we started dating, I noticed he had male breast (gynecomastia) We went to a doctor and they did a physical/ blood test and found out he has an extra xxy chromosome. We learned that if he had been taking testosterone before puberty he probably would have been able to have kids and live a some what normal life. But since he was diagnosed so late we’d probably never be able to have kids but adopted or ivf was an option. He even had to have surgery to remove the gynecomastia because he was at risk for breast cancer since cancer runs through his family. He is such a caring person, I can’t imagine my life without him. He works hard every day and has goals in life and has accomplished so much. He’s currently working on getting his masters in business and plans to become a store manager at Walmart in the near future. His goal is to run his own store. I’m beyond proud of him. I can’t believe someone would abort a perfect baby. I’m sorry someone told you that. I believe your son is a wonderful kid. Having a baby with KS is not a reason to abort a baby, anybody with KS who can’t have kids would probably love to adopt these wonderful babies. I know we would.

I am shocked that 72% of us are terminated. Wow I have a story. I am now 67. My mom was a school teacher also a registered nurse. She stopped nursing when I and my sisters started elementary school, and became a teacher. She tried everything she could to help me not knowing I was XXY. All through elementary, middle and high school I struggled. On my high school graduation document was written "Not recommended for college". I was diagnosed at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN in 1987 during a physical prior to hip surgery. When I hit 30 I was laid off. My company provided education funds. I used it to go to college. From the junior college entrance exam, they required remedial courses of math and English - along with a "How to Study" course. The How To Study course was freaking amazing! Had I this course in high school, I would have shined. Knowing I had great difficulty with Math, I saved those classes form last. When I started my first math class I was at a 4.0 GPA. While in college during a biology course, I was the only male in this class. The rest were female nursing students. I sat in the front row. In one class my teacher described what an XXY male was like. "They have pear shaped bodies, have female breasts and are mentally retarded". Wow! On the day of my final exam, I waited until all students walked out, and when I handed my test to the teacher, I said "do you remember when you described XXY males to our class? I want you to know not all XXY males have pear shaped bodies with female breasts and are mentally retarded". I told her that I am XXY!" She was shocked! I graduated with a 3.5 GPA with honors. I retired from IBM in 2016.

Thank you for posting this video and bringing awareness. This is exactly what my wife and I went through when our son was diagnosed in utero. A lot of archaic and misinformation given to use by a Genetics doctor. We knew nothing about XXY, only what he told us. The setting and the presentation was done in such a way to encourage termination. They seemed to want to schedule it right then at the meeting. I am so glad we did some of our own research and discovered what he said was a lie. We did not terminate and our son is such a treasure to our family. It is shameful that this still continues in this modern age. Anyone reading this please note that XXY boys are just as normal as any other human. Aborting based on XXY condition is like aborting based on sex or race. Anyone that received in utero diagnosis please realize that in your life you have met, worked with, went to school with, may have even been friends with someone with XXY and did not even know it. Anywhere from 1 in 500 to 1 in 1000 of males are XXY.

My son is almost 4 and was diagnosed with klinefelter syndrome just under a year ago. He had undergone genetic testing to determine the cause of his speech and learning delays.

I am studying bio and when i came across chromosomal disorders i realised i have listened to XXy before so i searched it.

I had no clue that there was a 70% termination rate for pregnancy with Klinefelters. My youngest has it, and I can't believe that people are getting told all this about them. I can't speak for others with it, but so far my son is absolutely normal, slightly behind technically but there are plenty of people who don't have anything and are slightly behind its completely normal. He's completely normal, even with an extra chromosome. It's crazy that people are thinking it's a death sentence and that its better not to bring them into the world because of this syndrome. I have to say from my experience so far that that's not true. So not true. Just found your page and I have to say I'm so grateful.

But then he will have these borderline autistic like meltdowns/rants, will be emotional, and then the next day will apologize and feel bad (and then you feel bad for not being sure whether to be angry). I am due to talk to him again this week (on a number of things.

@@karimako1983 I'm really christopher lol. I did have a learning disability but I coped with it. I don't think kfs kids should all be in special classes. I met a KFS guy that was actually a hospital administrator. That should give you some peace of mind that we all are different and some of us have talents greater than others even in the "normal" spectrum. I don't buy into a lot of the medical thinking. Doctors "Practice" medicine and dont have all the answers to everything. They only go by their case studies. As I think about it, who joins studies? Generally, lower income folks do for that free medical treatment. They have the time for the freebies but don't make time for educating themselves nor expecting their kids to expand. My Mom came from educated people and was well off. She was one of 2. My Dad came from a family of 7 and they were poor and he made it through High School but was pretty intelligent. Kids inherit their intelligence from their folks even if they are born with a disability so don't fall into pigeon holeing him into the worse case scenario that you googled about KFS. I would also share to not use KFS as a crutch and don't let him. Just explain that we all get a body and some come with exceptional talents and some come with some challenges but we all come with the ability to overcome. Have you noticed that deaf people are enhanced in other senses, as are blind people? Same with us. I have lot to share but am limited. Treat him the best as if he was perfect. Expose him to all the sports until he finds one he likes. Expose him to musical instruments or choir. Expose him to camping, fishing, all your family traditions. Expose him to all these things so he can learn and develop and find what he likes. Jason F, one of the respondents, is an army vet. That is exceptional. It's true that the testosterone therapy sucks. As a girl goes through the emotional ups and downs from being on a period, so do we guys that have to take these dang shots. So have some compassion around shot time. LOL. KFS guys get emotional like girls do. I always say, Girls cry and Boys cry, and Men Yell. You will notice as my kids do, I get a lot done straight after a shot. I'm focused and direct. Before the shot, I am wishy washy, and super sensitive. I can cry watching re runs of the Waltons, or Little House on the Prairie. LOL This is why it is so important for boys and young men to get involved in sports because it is a physical outlet. As the army vet, Jason would probably agree, physical activity is a must. When I was a teen starting out on testosterone, we had lots of farm work, wood cutting, etc to keep us physically active. Our punishments for sassing our mom was chopping wood and serious yard work. Our Dad made us choose one form of music and stick out thru the year and one sport and stick it out even though we hated it. KFS kids and teens need structure, so get him involved in all you can. Music gives us inner rythm, teaches us to work with a teacher and fellow peers and teaches us great breathing skills and gives us a sense of accomplishment. (go to all his performances - don't miss anything even if you hate it) Sports teaches discipline, helps them channel and bridle their passions and control their rages from hormone fluxations and teaches them respect and commradery for one another. Everyone knows that physical exercise makes you feel good. All this will elevate his self esteem and self worth is key. I see I was rather verbose. This is funny cause I didn't talk much in my youth due to my initial speech delays but now, you can't shut me up. LOL I hope this helps a little.

Your doctor was a bonehead to offer termination. Maybe, just maybe, the kfs guys are exceptionally more talented than the normal guys? I've got a buddy in Orem Utah that has a computer business and most of his programmers have asbergers syndrome and he prefers that because it is the best fit for the work. I have a room mate that has asbergers and he is super smart, but sometimes challenging to socialize with but life is about learning how to work together and I love a challenge. I don't have asbergers but some of us do and that is why I mention it. Asbergers is on the autism spectrum to which I am on that spectrum but high functioning. I think we KFS guys are always learning. You are a smart mom and I am so proud of you for learning all you can to make your boy's life a successful one. Good on you and your sweetheart who are parenting together. Your kids are going to have ups and downs as we all did. This that we have can be a stumbling block or a stepping stone. He is so fortunate to have involved parents gathering from others to make his "adventure" a good one. I wanted to share, not to boast but to share some of my accomplishments to give you some idea what some of us can do. I had major learning disabilities so I had to take summer school through all the school years just to pass through. I just didn't get it until later in life. I did the 2 year Mormon Mission which I learned a lot and had fellow peers teach me how to study. One thing we had to do was memorize holy scriptures. This was taught to me in a sing song way and I was able to memorize a lot. After the 2 year mission, at 21, the little college I did take, I was able to memorize text books and get straight As. I couldn't afford to finish and had challenges working for others, so I started a landscape business. I worked in a prominent city in Oregon where I was from and was able to work for prominent people and famous actors and even our local basket ball team. Doing so, enabled me to get good exposure to other opportunities. I went on to attain a massage license and bought a building on the west side and practice massage for years. I married a beautiful woman and we had 2 daughters together but they were manufactured by some other guy while I was at work LOL I also had a son given to me by his mother. I took custody of my kids when the youngest 2 were 3 and 4. It is a rare occasion when the father of 2 female kids and one male gets custody. They don't usually give the male parent the kids unless the mother is abusive or neglectful and she wasn't. I was just in their lives and could give them a better life due to excellent income and being debt free. I've kept their home and they love that I still have the home they grew up in. The youngest is still with me until college is over. I am debt free and comfortable. I continue to learn new things and stay active running a business and do my interests. I'm also a kid at heart still. A massage client and judge once told me, "Get all the toys, video games, big tv screen, pools, trampolines in your yard and orchestrate all the outings, camp trips, trips to the beach and amusement parks, rivers and lakes for your kids because, you will always know where your kids are and who they are with, which is with you. I still have everything and I play their games, I join all the social media platforms they are on and I do things with them, so I know where they are, who they are with and they will know I am over their shoulder with them. Family is pretty important to all humans especially KFS kids. Love your boys. Dads need to hug their boys and face to face tell them out loud they love them. This will help the boy's self esteem because sometimes, the boy may not feel like a real man having to take hormone shots and know he is different. I tell my kids who did not have my syndrome, "remember who you are, always know that I love you and will always no matter what you discover about yourself and what you want to do with your life and with whoever you team up with." they always say "I know Dad!" 2 are str8 and one is gay and all are well educated, smart and confident. They know that Dad loves them. I get the mother's day and father's day cards. LOL

I’ve had life long problems from Klinefelter. The subject is complicated.

I'm 17 and I have XXY. I still don't tell my parents but maybe they already know.

My search for enlarged breasts lead me to KS, comparing my symptoms they completely match. I'm 20 and have not told anyone, not even my parents (I think my dad had it too, he got me through artificial reproductive techniques I guess). Right now I only want my Gynecomastia removed but I know I need hormal therapy maybe it's too late for that too, but I don't know how to tell my parents about it. I'm soon gonna join med college and sometimes I'm afraid if I'll be able to graduate because it's so tough what if my condition gets in the way.

i found out when I was 27 years old. while body building, breasts starting developing vary fast. it's when I went to see a doctor. and was tested. then learning about all the side affects ( the light bulb went on). Now, I know why, I had all the issues while growing up. ( everyone thought I was just lazy. ( never likes sports)

It’s not a reason to terminate FOR YOU. Other people could have different risk tolerances. that’s FINE.

With all due respect, your pro-choice position contradicts and undermines your own argument. If it's morally permissible to abort a fetus for any reason, including convenience, it doesn't magically become immoral when the fetus is aborted because it has KS. Either life is precious and worthy of protection or it isn't.

I agree with you. Sad thing is extreme feminist are in control right now. A large percentage believe all males of all ages are obsolete and should be destroyed. Hope we can win this.

What you said applies to all the souls that get aborted for convenience.. you should rethink why you are ok with the death of unborn babies. Just saying… pro abortion is pro murder and we should all be as angry about this as you are with your doctor even suggesting you end the life of your baby ❤

You’re clearly not pro-choice if you judge someone’s choice to abort. That’s just not pro-choice

Jen is talking about the misinformation our community faces and how doctors and genetic counselors tell newly diagnosed parents to terminate. The information is outdated and based on low study numbers of extreme cases that do not represent our entire community. She's putting her life out there to make a stand and make a difference. Let's not focus on pro-choice, getting these boys born into this world, and arming the parents with the information they need to make the right choices for their kids.

​@@LivingwithXXY oh no I didn't realize the doctors held a gun to her head and told her to get an abortion or else. You mean they provided medical information and told her what many parents choose to do in her situation, and then allowed her to make a decision for herself? How monstrous.

Pro-choice people are less than low-life scum. There's criminals, and then pro-choice cock roaches. They are essentially just as bad as pedophiles.

If you abort a previously wanted baby solely because they aren't "perfect" or something like that then that crosses a line that is altogether separate from being pro choice. That line is something called eugenics and it is widely regarded as a morally and ethically bereft ideology that was followed by the likes of nazis, white supremacists and people who believe that disabilities or differences make certain people inferior.

@@eloisem7458can you not see the obvious logical fallacy there? Most cases (more than 70%) of XXY are never discovered and the men live typically normal lives. NIPT tests have just started reporting XXY to expectant parents who are being advised to terminate on the basis of what, exactly? That others were told the same thing? 1 in 500-600 men are born XXY.

I wish I would've been terminated. Never having to deal with the extreme depression, embarrassment and ridicule my entire life would've been well worth it. KS has literally ruin my life, many times I've thought of just ending it. It's easy for this lady to see the wrong in this, but she's not the one that'll have to live KS. Selfish.

I read your post and it reminds me so much of my son. I lost him six months ago at the age of 28 years old. He had an undiagnosed heart condition and passed away very suddenly. He was very afflicted with the Klinefelter's disorder and there were many difficulties. Nevertheless, he was the most wonderful person that I've ever known. He was the love of my life and I miss him desperately. I know of the challenges he faced, and your words seem very familiar. Please, please don't give up. Please talk with others and medical professionals, go for counseling, do anything you can, but don't give up. I was there every step of the way with my son, and I know the challenges can be overwhelming, but please keep trying.
