Organs aren’t fucking traditional, there’s no choice there (well at least not initially)
As interesting as La Chapelle syndrome is, it kind of sucks that most people find out they have this syndrome due to the fact it causes infertility.
I found out because I was doing genetic work to test for Ehlers Danlos and I’d gotten my entire genome sequenced, so I figured I’d look for other stuff as well. I’ve suspected for a few years now that I’ve got some sort of intersex condition for a while because of very low testosterone and a weirdly fast transition, but finally got the confirmation earlier this week and wow my genetics are kinda a mess. Tbh I’m amazed that my code actually compiled XD
Oh look, it’s me! I found out a few years ago that I have De La Chapelle syndrome. I’m actually a trans woman though and not a guy, so I consider it a bonus rather than a downside since it made me have very little testosterone growing up.
Have you looked into whether people with the condition are more likely to be LGBT? I get the feeling like it could be linked
Last time I looked there wasn’t anything particularly associated with being queer, but the sample set of people who both have this and know that they do is pretty small so who knows! Could be, and we could just be missing the data. Or they could both be correlated with some other factor
“traditionally masculine organs”
Like we call it in the Internet: dick and balls
Similarly, Swyer Syndrome.
Even biological code can compile randomly at times!
You saying they might have an unexpected dangling pointer?
typo :
unware… unaware 😌 !Fixed now
Also interesting in that regard Androgen insensitivity syndrome: Despite different root causes, it is something of the opposite of Chapelle syndrome. People who possess XY chromosomes, but possess female genitalia.
I really feel for the inevitable handful of trans men with Androgen Insensitivity syndrome. Imagine how bad it’d be if you were born with the wrong body, and couldn’t change it through hormones - it’d be an actual nightmare.
I remember this one from that one episode of House.
Ironic that the comedian constantly bitching about sexual and gender identity has the same name.
Dave gonna be pissed
