When I started GendersInX, I had come from a site that talked about Klinefelter's Syndrome to the most intimate detail. This was XXYTalk.com, I was a moderator there. I had chatted with a lot of people there not just about Klinefelter's but about everything.
In that time, I had met a person with Turner's Syndrome and I was intrigued with her attitude and how similar we actually were even though our conditions are very much different. That got me thinking that there must be more conditions that strike a similar chord.
I looked it up in the Internet and found four conditions that have a fragile X in common, meaning the X chromosome. Many of us see ourselves are not only in female or male terms but both, a blend or none. That makes up a lot of different people with commonalities.
So GendersInX was borne.
Although I found myself to be an Intersexed person, this is not an Intersex site, it is a place for us to get to know each other and find our similarities. There are many, too numerous to even cite here.
I hope you discover others and in the midst of it, yourself and how you relate to others or how your child will as well.
