In 1980 in Cleveland, Walsh was fatally shot in the cross fire of an attempted robbery. The subsequent autopsy revealed that Walsh had a chromosomal disorder known as mosaicism that left her with sexually ambiguous genitalia. Despite the gender confusion caused by the disorder, Walsh had lived her entire life as a woman.

They’re apparently different:

Pretty impressive, despite having mosaicism at a time when medicine wasn’t that advanced, to have expelled at athletics.
Did Stanisława Walasiewicz have Turner Syndrome (a malfunctioning X Chromosome) or Klinefelter syndrome where boy is born with an extra copy of the X chromosome (XXY)? Klinefelter syndrome is the only real time where a baby is born trans. Usually, a female baby has 2 X chromosomes (XX) and a male has 1 X and 1 Y (XY). But in Klinefelter syndrome, a boy is born with an extra copy of the X chromosome (XXY). O.2% of boys suffer from this with a range of symptoms.
Hmm. The link states that it can be body-wide, or confined to certain organs or an organ.
There seem to be different types of mosaicism that display differently. Hermaphroditism involves mosaisism. It’s a genetic mutation.
If her genetic/genital anomalies did not pertain to her murder or death, then why the hell did the state think it was appropriate to release those details of her autopsy?
I have a relative with Klinefelters. He is definitely male. However he has interesting characteristics. No beard. Sterile. Diagnosed as an adult, the doctor noticed right away that he had the posture and movement of a Klinefelter’s. Many of these people have learning difficulties and a very black and white outlook on life. No nuances. Rigid. Many end up in jail.
The article suggests she was an XX, XY mosaic, the result of two embryos, one female, one male, fusing very early.
