I actually have XYY. I discovered it bc I participated in a test for genealogy of known Cohens. Both are the same and both my fathers.
They used to think XYY were prone to being criminals and thugs and less intelligent. Not true. I went to MIT and not exactly a lifetime criminal, unless you count speeding.
What is true is male secondary sex traits are slightly exaggerated. So I am a bit taller than I should be, am rather hirsute, have a pronounced chin, and always gained muscle very easily from exercise. Tend to smell rather, dank of I don’t shower a lot.
I am going to go ahead and go out on a limb and post without actually reading the article. (I know, who does that?)
Yes, I have to confess that I am one of the relatively few men that have the “Alpha Male” chromosome.
“Most without knowing”
Damn, and I always check my chromosomes - how did that one escape me,
I carried it once, across the threshold but other than that, she’s kinda heavy.
I thought all babies were initially ‘female’ (X) and then the dumb ones (Y) develop a penis at about 60 days in utero? ;)
“Thanks! I’ll be here all week! Try the veal! And don’t forget to tip your Waitress!”
*RIMSHOT* :)
Explains why so many republican men in DC are such spineless wusses.
Whether XXY or XYY, the baby is born as a male, which means a good definition of a man is “has at least one Y chromosome”.
I know there is a case out of Russia (see the movie Citizen X) where a man has one set set of DNA yet his sperm has a different DNA. Hardcore movie but it was very close to the actual events in history of a serial rapist/killer.
Well crap. You know what that means right. Some lib womxn is gonna complain they were denied the opportunity to have extra. Damn! 😂🙌
Were they sampling a bunch of women who dressed and acted like men when they came to this conclusion?????
at this point in life, I could use one*
(* at least one, smile smile smile)
are they on sale at walmart.com?
I don’t keep an eye on my chromosomes to be sure I have the right number.
Anyone who has a Y chromosome is a male.
The article does show clearly that secondary characteristics are linked to the chromosomes, and that chromosomes mean something. The Y determines if you are a male. Lack of the Y means you are a female.
The left is threatened by that statement of fact.
I think it’s called Klinefelter syndrome. I knew a male who had it and he had (according to his wife) small testicles and he was infertile. (He had not told her of his condition before marriage, and unfortunately they eventually got divorced- for other reasons).
Klinefelter syndrome and other sex chromosomal aneuploidies
The term Klinefelter syndrome (KS) describes a group of chromosomal disorder in which there is at least one extra X chromosome to a normal male karyotype, 46,XY. XXY aneuploidy is the most common disorder of sex chromosomes in humans, with prevalence of one in 500 males. Other sex chromosomal aneuploidies have also been described, although they are much less frequent, with 48,XXYY and 48,XXXY being present in 1 per 17,000 to 1 per 50,000 male births. The incidence of 49,XXXXY is 1 per 85,000 to 100,000 male births. In addition, 46,XX males also exist and it is caused by translocation of Y material including sex determining region (SRY) to the X chromosome during paternal meiosis. Formal cytogenetic analysis is necessary to make a definite diagnosis, and more obvious differences in physical features tend to be associated with increasing numbers of sex chromosomes. If the diagnosis is not made prenatally, 47,XXY males may present with a variety of subtle clinical signs that are age-related. In infancy, males with 47,XXY may have chromosomal evaluations done for hypospadias, small phallus or cryptorchidism, developmental delay. The school-aged child may present with language delay, learning disabilities, or behavioral problems. The older child or adolescent may be discovered during an endocrine evaluation for delayed or incomplete pubertal development with eunuchoid body habitus, gynecomastia, and small testes. Adults are often evaluated for infertility or breast malignancy. Androgen replacement therapy should begin at puberty, around age 12 years, in increasing dosage sufficient to maintain age appropriate serum concentrations of testosterone, estradiol, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH). The effects on physical and cognitive development increase with the number of extra Xs, and each extra X is associated with an intelligence quotient (IQ) decrease of approximately 15–16 points, with language most affected, particularly expressive language skills.

It is far more than 1 in 500 carrying the those special Chromed 9mm compact handguns, especially here in Texas.
That article appears to contradict itself many times, concerning the meanings of the surveys findings.
Perhaps I’m not reading it correctly.
My lawyer called it ALIMONY.
I know about mine. I keep them in the same pocket as my Swiss Army knife.
