But it's fascinating. I'd love to get a karyogram done, to see if my chromosomes actually match what people would expect from the person I lived as up to this point.

Would you expect something non-standard, or rather - would you be disappointed if it were one way or the other?

I don't really expect anything, no.

Being a newly realized transwoman, it would be kinda fun to have XX chromosomes and show that to the Simple Biology™ crowd, not gonna lie.

But then again, science has already established that chromosomes don't have to mean what many people think they mean, so that wouldn't matter.

Though I'd also just like more karyograms to be done in general, to have a better understanding of how present certain karyotypes actually are
