If English makes 3 additional gender terms to accommodate for XXX, XXY, and XYY people, what would be the most realistic terms for those genders?

You left out X0 (Turner's syndrome), XXXX, XXYY, XX with translocated SRY, XY with deleted or damaged SRY, XX with partial or complete androgen insensitivity, güevedoce. . . .

Most babies aren't screened for their chromosome number. I have always assumed I'm XY, but I don't actually know, and I've never felt that it was urgent to check it. XXX and XYY individuals usually look outwardly like normal females and males, respectively. Geneticists use the terms "superfemale" and "supermale," but outside of technical language we probably should not use those words. XXX females do not necessarily look like Supergirl or Wonder Woman or Barbarella; they tend to be tall and may have (but don't always have) minor developmental delays, but most lead quite normal lives. XYY males do not necessarily resemble Superman or Jason Momoa; they also tend to be tall and sometimes show developmental delays, but not always. Many XXX and XYY individuals are never diagnosed. Since you can't pick XXX females or XYY males out of a crowd just by looking, there's probably no need for a special English term.

So the karyotypes XXX, XXY, and XYY aren't genders at all, and in non-technical English, there's no real need for specific words for them.

Hello,hope y'all doin good, i came to Quora to share my strange story , a very weird one , a story when luck smiled at me ,maybe u will enjoy it , let's begin,have fun... A year ago ,I was a real porn addicted(btw I was 18) ,but never had sex before, I don't have a gf I didn't try to find one even ,always thinking to go to find a sex worker but then I just don't , everyday watching different bodies getting fucked and everyday enjoying. One day, I was watching porn, a big ass lady with big boobs ,just after seeing her the image of my female cousin poped in my mind, (let's introduce her : she's 35 years old , very big ass , nice boobs ,not very big but nice,always wearing tight clothes , she's divorced ) and I thought of me fucking her ,I never had sexual desires for her but now I do days went by and when I met her I was so horny ,I couldn't stay with the family cz my penis was clearly erected , I realized this is my first time I get horny for one of my family ,it not illegal in my country.well to make a long story short( if u want details just text me I will tell u 😊),I decided to give her signs that I want to fuck her,finally I decided to have sex and with my cousin , I thought it is the best beggining for me, i started touching her when I came across her in a narrow place , make her feel my hard cock when we hug , I thought it will hard and I will be ashamed but no , I felt nothing and she said nothing , probably she thought it was by mistake,anyways, I decided then to talk with her about sex, waited for her to be alone in a room and talk with her, I confessed everything about me watching porn and addicted..etc,she said it's normal and u are growing up and u must have sex,well at that time I was like whaaat????? Well I didn't control myself and asked her for sex ( horny like I Ve never been before) she said that she will think Abt it ,2 weeka went by then she called me ,telling that she reserved a room in a hotel and we meet tonight ,we met,and bruuhh, sex is great , I mean, I had to find a pirstitue ,what I was waiting for to have such a feeling ????, I will never forget that night, I started kissing her she was kissing hard ,she misses sex so bad , she sucked my dick and swallowed my semen ,I felt I'm in a dream , then when fucked ,her ass was very big and the anus was open ,didn't struggle to get my hard cock inside it , she was obviously missing sex , she was shouting ,fuck me yh fuck me , I go fast after every word until I cum , we did that 3 times , then we went to her pussy , using condoms I fucked her so hard the moans were higher , everything was perfect ,in the end I asked her to lick her body , licked pussy ,ass, boobs,then she sucked my cock until we sleeped ,all I know that she was dirty ,well before even having sex with her I knew she is an open minded woman , and a woman that looks that she donesnt know anything , but she knows everything, but never expected having sex with her ,well she was horny and that helped...but no one of us regretted that sex ever.. We still have sex from time to time ,and I started having sex with sex workers , joining threesomes..etc If u want pics of her text me.

Most importantly: you're mixing up sex and gender. Sex refers to what the good professor Ken Saladin calls the "three Gs" -- genes, gonads, and genitals (which usually, but not always, align with one of the two typical patterns). Gender refers to what a person knows themself to be: according to Merriam-Webster, it is "the behavioral, cultural, or psychological traits typically associated with one sex." There is a considerable and growing amount of evidence that gender is encoded in brain structures and can't be changed consciously. Usually, the "three G's" align with gender in typical ways: a kid with X and Y chromosomes, testes, and a penis will usually self-identify as a boy and do things that our culture says are "boy things." Usually. Not always.

XXY males have male genitals. The testes are small, and they're infertile, but I see no reason to call them anything other than "males." If you have to refer to their chromosomes specifically, you can say "Klinefelter's syndrome." But again, if you can't pick them out in a crowd without detailed physical examination, there's probably no need for a special English term.
