All of the medical sites i've looked at say there is *some* evidence of a difference, such as a tendency for unusual tallness and thinness, antisocial and behavioral problems, and severe acne during adolescence. Intelligence is sometimes lower as well. *however* the above are not common and don't always occur with xyy males. Some look and behave very much like an XY male. __________________________ Hey Vanity, this vial's empty and so are you
