As an XXY that was forced down the GIC route, I have to say from my own experience GIC's are not the place for XXY's for the reason, they don't understand our minds, nor our endocrinology. But until there is better consideration for non male identifying XXY's, GIC's is all there is and there are massive years long waiting lists to contend with. Ffor it to stand, male identifying XXY's are being treated better than non male identifying XXY's through their easier access to hormone therapy everyone agrees is beneficial to the XXY.

Very interesting. This has made so many things clearer for me.

In those that were studied, how many of these men had a diagnosis at birth and received all necessary interventions and services? I believe comparing that cohort with KS men that were diagnosed when they were post-pubescent is worthy of study.
