Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence of gender dysphoria (GD) in Klinefelter Syndrome (KS) patients, finding that many do not fully identify with their assigned male gender and may have issues with gender identity.
- An online questionnaire was conducted with 139 KS patients, revealing that only 53% identified as male, while 19% were unhappy with their assigned gender, and a significant number considered altering their physical appearance.
- Many participants were receiving testosterone therapy (67%), yet a notable portion had gender identity concerns, indicating a need for careful discussions around hormone treatment for those with GD.
