“…In hypogonadal males there tends to be little overt disturbance before puberty (Manthey, 1958). The degree of adjustment is probably determined by the individual's intellectual equipment, the environmental relationships, the social background, and the potentialities for development.…”

“…With the doubt that was cast upon the biological sex of individuals with Turner or Klinefelter’s syndrome came a similar doubt cast upon their gender and sexuality. Between 1956 and 1959 there were a number of investigations as to whether individuals with Klinefelter’s Syndrome were atypical in their psychological sex or sexual behaviour, including investigations into ‘transvestism’ ( Smith and Davidson, 1958 ; Overzier, 1958 ; Walter and Braütigam, 1958 ) ‘homosexuality’ ( Jackson et al, 1956 ) and aspects of ‘feminine psychology’ ( Manthey, 1958 ). Publications in the UK in this period also placed Klinefelter’s Syndrome within a ‘spectrum of sex’ which included intersex variations, homosexuality and transvestism in a series of gradations between ‘normal female’ and ‘normal male’ ( Armstrong, 1958 ).…”

The 2006 'Consensus statement on management of intersex disorders' recommended moving to a new classification of intersex variations, framed in terms of 'disorders of sex development' or DSD. Part of the rationale for this change was to move away from associations with gender, and to increase clarity by grounding the classification system in genetics. While the medical community has largely accepted the move, some individuals from intersex activist communities have condemned it. In addition, people both inside and outside the medical community have disagreed about what should be covered by the classification system, in particular whether sex chromosome variations and the related diagnoses of Turner and Klinefelter's syndromes should be included. This article explores initial descriptions of Turner and Klinefelter's syndromes and their subsequent inclusion in intersex classifications, which were increasingly grounded in scientific understandings of sex chromosomes that emerged in the 1950s. The article questions the current drive to stabilize and 'sort out' intersex classifications through a grounding in genetics. Alternative social and historical definitions of intersex -such as those proposed by the intersex activists -have the potential to do more justice to the lived experience of those affected by such classifications and their consequences.

“…Further studies which help clarify the personality difficulties of these patients have been done by Manthey 37 and by Raboch and Nedoma. 38 Manthey believed that loss or decrease of potency and masculinity after puberty favors arrest in psychosexual development and regression.…”
