Hi all,
We are parents of a 13y/o child who is diagnosed with Klinefelter, 6 months ago.
Our child was not a typical boy from birth our child was more androgynous didn't have typical boy's interest neither girls, but picked the best ( what he thought ) from both.
AS parents we thought that this was phase and it should getting over in puberty.
But that puberty didn't came the " normal" way, but our child get hips and some light breast growth.
Our child went to the doctor for something else, and the doctor have seen this development too, and send us to a specialist.
We visited the specialist talked with her, she took body measurements and some blood so that she can test it.
It took a month and we had the diagnosis our child have the Klinefelter syndrome.
She have given lots of information about this and what to do.
She send also our child to an psychologist to test and look at our chid's mental health.
The outcome of these tests where that our child is less connected with manhood and more with womanhood.
Our child's gender marker is automatic corrected in our land's basic administration from a M into an X this is the standard protocol here, because of the social rights.
Just because of the rights the clinical protocols are changed, intersex persons can choose the hormone treatment what they want, testosterone or estrogen.
Now we are on the stage that our child must choose finally will our child come into male puberty or female puberty, testosterone or estrogen treatment.
Our child is direct and clear about this, estrogen, and starting female puberty to become female.
Now the doctor said also at the time when we have information from her that she have lots of experiences of Klinefelter and Testosterone treatment, but not with Klinefelter and estrogen treatment, she has well lots of experience with estrogen treatment in other circumstances.
Now our ask are here some with Klinefelter and are using Estrogen treatment?
And what are your experiences with this treatment and your klinefelter?
