A sleep monitor? He might legitimately have fat-induced sleep apnea. Or suspicion thereof.
Thanks for the correction on Lithium! It's on my list of scariest drugs, "mood stabilizer" seems too euphemistic.
Let us discuss Kleinfelter's syndrome for a moment. I am not a speech pathologist, so forgive, but it seems like JY has a little of what that Donald guy (fake journo who fought with him over the phone) it seems like they both have what I think is "tongue too big". Like the tongue sits far back in the mouth and leads to a weird/spitty sound on "s" and "th". Tongue-too-big also leads to that softening on the "t" that JY does. It's hard to get the tongue light enough on the hard palate for the "t". He also does a weird thing with his tongue when he smiles (like in the "i started my period fml" post from yesterday. ")
I took high school biology several decades ago and dimly remember Kleinfelter's (XXY) as being marked by:
1. Male secondary sex characteristics including genitals, male presenting
2. Above average height/stature
3. Shortening of ligaments affecting dexterity and gait (toe walking)
4. Some problem with testicles, sometimes sterile
5. Large head (not macrocephaly)
6. Speech impediment (the back of mouth lisp on "ssss" and "th"
7. Disrupted social development, difficulty relating to age-peers
I still think this is where JY gets his "im intersex" idea from, he just doesn't understand what it really means. Like it was explained to him that he has an extra "female chromosome" and he ran the wrong way with it.
