Lol no. I'm sick of this lie, or misunderstanding. There are 2 sexes. I can't believe it's even a debate. I see this junk being spread on social media by people who clearly know nothing about biology, and have just discovered these karyotypes, and for some reason think/really want to believe they are different sexes, and for some reason think it's a helpful argument on behalf of transgender people.
These people should have studied biology, to learn from a biology teacher, scientist or doctor, not a quack, and not social media retweets, tumblr posts, and unqualified, pandering, manipulating or desperate people who need help. They think they discovered these chromosomal conditions only now, and think they are sexes? Lol. I learned about it like a decade ago in A Level Biology. They aren't sexes.
"X – Roughly 1 in 2,000 to 1 in 5,000 people (Turner’s ) -FEMALE
XX – Most common form of female - FEMALE
XXY – Roughly 1 in 500 to 1 in 1,000 people (Klinefelter) - MALE
XY – Most common form of male - MALE
XYY – Roughly 1 out of 1,000 people - MALE (Jacobs syndrome)
XXXY – Roughly 1 in 18,000 to 1 in 50,000 births -MALE
"
These are conditions that affect either Males or Females. They aren't 'sexes '.
Turner syndrome is a condition that affects females.
Klienfelter syndrome is a condition that affects males.
Turner s is not a sex, it's a syndrome
Kleinfelters is not a sex, it's a syndrome
Etc.
If there is a Y chromosome, your sex chromosomes are genetically male, doesn't matter how many X you have. If no Y chromosomes, your sex chromosomes are genetically female, doesn't matter how many X you got.
This I remember clear as day in a level, from my biology phD educated biology teacher. Not a desperate teenager on Tumblr or twitter. A mutation or syndrome or a problem during the development of the sex, doesn't change that. Just because something has a lot of retweets or shares doesn't make it true.
And this has nothing to do with 'gender', or being transgender, anyway.
And btw, there are other affects that you'd notice.
and Males with Kleinfelter syndrome if treated are treated with testosterone and females with Turner syndrome are treated with human growth hormones and estrogen replacement therapy.

e.g. "Klinefelter Syndrome (a.k.a XXY Syndrome) is a chromosomal abnormality that affects only males."
btw for Jacobs syndrome, this is all it is
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/XYY_syndrome
"XYY syndrome is a genetic condition in which a male has an extra Y chromosome.[1] Symptoms are usually few.[3] They may include being taller than average, acne, and an increased risk of learning problems.[1][3] The person is generally otherwise normal, including normal fertility. "
The condition is generally not inherited from a person's parents but rather occurs as a result of a random event during sperm cell development"
47,XYY is not inherited, but usually occurs as a random event during the formation of sperm cells. An incident in chromosome separation during anaphase II (of meiosis II) called nondisjunction can result in sperm cells with an extra copy of the Y-chromosome. If one of these atypical sperm cells contributes to the genetic makeup of a child, the child will have an extra Y-chromosome in each of the body's cells.[21]
In some cases, the addition of an extra Y-chromosome results from nondisjunction during cell division during a post-zygotic mitosis in early embryonic development. This can produce 46,XY/47,XYY"
