Response to Channel 4 Documentary, Tuesday 6th April 2004, 9pm-10pm.The KSA utterly reject the impression given by this programme which suggested that KS is an "intersex" condition. There are many people born with XX (female) or XY (male) chromosomes who consider themselves to have been born "in the wrong body". There is no evidence that those with XXY chromosomes are more likely to have such conditions. To base a programme on the views of a small minority is to fail to reflect the true nature of the Syndrome. The KSA exists to promote well-founded scientific and medical knowledge about the condition. If you have queries or doubts please contact us.
