XXY Information and Site Design Concepts
  

 
1. XXY is a gene kerotype specified by carrying an extra 'x' chromosome.  
     
2. The gender of an XXY is Intersexed, but is typically chosen to be male and decided upon on a personal basis.
     
3. The statistical occurance of XXY is about 1 out of every 800-1000 males, & Kleinfelter's developes later in untreated males.

Presently, I am seeking anyone who can help me put this site into motion. I just can't do it all. If you are interested in assisting me with this website please email me at g13005(@)no.spam.gmail.com
     
The primary Goal is to create awareness for the community, and to help raise money for charities that help support XXY's from adolescence thru adulthood and old age.
     
Our intent is to donate at least 25% of all proceeds on a quarterly basis to a specific XXY charitable foundation. Idealy, I would like to raise the contribution to about 50% or slightly higher, depending on my operating costs and the success of this site.
     
Our primary source for funding will be provided by Organizations who are interested in supporting this type of idea, through banner ads strategically placed within the site. Banner Ads will be sold at a minimum size of 100x100 and cost $250 per block. In an effort to keep the content fresh, the ads will be shown for 60 days unless other prior arrangments have been made.
     
The sites original layout will be a cross-breed between a user community forum and a charitable website that will offer information for others to learn about specific traits of XXY, or XXXY, or XXXXY's and which organizations they can contact for any personal, financial or medical needs.
     
Why am I doing this? To be honest, I think the XXY community needs assistance in unification. I among others are constantly trying to do just that. The second reason is that I was diagnosed havving XXY and klinefelter's when I was 30 years old. I have discovered in just two years many things about my past that now make sence. Getting the assistance that I need has been a different story, since the medical community doesn't know the in's and out's of this life challenge yet.
     
My favorite quote, given to me by one of my recent doctors was, "You're too young to have XXY!" Maybe I am, but the fact that I was born with it, must have elluded him! :)
