So here I am :D it's only taken 20 something years and tons of doctors and test and this and that and well dang it's just one extra little marker. It would appear that I have Klinefelter's Syndrome but not a normal case of course not, it took th doctors years to figure it out, I have know idea why, I was born with some what normal male looking parts so I raised as a boy I just never really fit the mold, but during a sports physical in my teens it was discovered my testis never dropped, no biggy perhaps when he enters puberty in a few years, well puberty years cme and gone and still nothing and now I'm this smallish kid whos voice hadn't changed much, high school was hell but college was cool I could do whatever and nobody cared, so I let my hair grow then I started getting ma'md what the F** what did me in, am I rambeling? I do that sometimes, my shrink tells me it's good to get it out. OK so around the time I turned 20 I started growing boobs what the F** long hair never had to shave my face no dropped testies and now boobs. what the F** in tears I go see my mom she always knew what to do, and about 4 years later I have Klinefelter's one extra marker xxy but apparently I don't have the other symptoms of Klinefelter's thus the difficult diagnosis, so here I am trying to find myself living as a woman in a mans world

I will let you in on our little secret, dear... women rule the world, but we must never let the boys know that -- their delicate egos get hurt so easily.
Congrats on the extra chromosome, being XX and XY in the same body.

I may not be fulltime as you say or define the word, I am just being me and it turns out my extra X helps me look more feminine, which is like totally cool, I was so miserable trying to be a guy.

I think you've hit on the most important thing about transition, luv. It takes the misery out of one's life, at least the misery of trying to be who you are not. :)
And from the very nice pics, I'd say that you look better and happier female. A huge and perhaps the most important "test."
