One famous example of a transgendered person (but not too many non-bio majors realize as being one) is Jamie Lee Curtis, who has XY chromosomes, but has lived all her life as a female.

My daughter succeeded in flooring me this evening when she mentioned that in her college bio class, the prof mentioned that Jamie Lee Curtis (currently starring in "Freaky Friday") is actually geneticly male, and suffers from a genetic abnormality that made her develop as a female. I HAD to check on it, and found she's standardly listed on multiple college biology sources as being an example of the condition.

I'm sure there are lots of XX females who wished they looked as female as XY Jamie

That thing you heard about Jamie Lee Curtis is nothing more than an urban legend. In truth, Jamie Lee Curtis was born, raised and is, indeed, female. Just ask Christopher Guest.

Hmm, so you are saying that she is a male because your science says so. She is not mutilated with a scalpel, she can have babies, and knows she is a female. You trying to convince her that she is a guy because of your blood test might just piss her off. Specially if you chose the wrong time of the month.

I think you might have a reality check problem. I bet you think your great great grandaddy was an ape because someone told you that too...

ROTFLMBO! Once someone looked at the results of an experiment to determine the validity of the theroy. Now we ignore the Reality and grasp the theroy instead!

You ever stop to think the guy that figured out that xx and xy determined sex might, (gasp!), have been wrong?

Thanks for the best laugh all day!

Urban Myth, she's never publicly stated and her doctors ethically can't say either.
