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
