My wife had Turner's. We were married 29 years before she passed away last summer following heart surgery. She was so joyful, smart, a talented musician, and such a loving mother to our 2 adopted sons. We miss her so very much. I hear echoes of her in Celeste. Thank you for making this video.

"Just because we're different doesn't mean we cannot connect". Thanks for that quote Celeste; and for reminding me to embrace humanity's diversity.

I have Turner's and I feel so blessed to be a part of the 1% that lived. Thank you for putting out a video that spreads awareness. Celeste you have done a wonderful job representing the syndrome. You have even taught me a thing or two. God bless! ❤

This may be the most educational interview I've seen on your page. It was really interesting to hear about Turner syndrome. Celeste did such an amazing job explaining their challenges.

my little sister had turners and i totally forget she has it haha it’s so wild to think other people see her differently cause my sister is so normal to me and she can do everything on her own and she’s just the fricken coolest little kid i’ve ever met, all of my friends and anyone who meets her just lovesss her

My girlfriend has triple x syndrome. She's born with a extra X chromosome . She's taller than average, has broader shoulders, bigger cheekbones, and has trouble learning. She struggles with depression and self confidence too. I didn't know there was a opposite of her condition. It's interesting. You and her are very similar mentally but almost opposite physically

I lost my daughter when I was 8 months pregnant due to turners. She would have been 13. My heart still aches. I wonder what she would have been like. My life has not been the same

Celeste is brave and extremely articulate. Great strength. Hat's off to this highly intelligent person and entire family. Thumbs up.
-
Wow just found this. I have turners too. Celeste is so strong. I’m so happy to see someone like me reflected online. So happy that you are doing this work! Sending so much love your way!
-
I have turners myself and it’s amazing to see some awareness. It’s rarely talked about and it’s great to be able to relate to others with the same condition :)
-
Celeste seems to be such a good friend. It would be nice to hear about the friends of the people you show us. Hugs from Brazil bub.

I just got told yesterday that my unborn baby has Turner’s syndrome. I came here to find out more information, so I thank you for speaking out about your life.
-
Celeste seems like a super cool person. Thanks for this interview, I enjoy hearing them about their experience.
-
“It’s just a reflection of a natural human variation “. How beautiful. Thank you Celeste for putting it so simply and so beautifully.
-
I cannot. Celeste is such a sweet person. Love how they managed to understand their self. I have POS and can understand the thing about not identifying as a woman or a man, since we physically don’t look like a mas/fem stereotype. It’s very hard to explain, and I admire you for being so brave and just be yourself.
-
Celeste is brilliant and so insightful. A really good, kind hearted person. Parents did a fine job and should be proud!
-
as a woman with turners, i appreciate your classification of it as an intersex condition. a few years ago a lot of women with turner syndrome pushed back against the label of intersex because they felt like it threatened their womanhood and how others perceive them as women. people like you educate and make others realize that this is not the case, that you can identify as a woman or any other gender identity while having turner syndrome. i appreciate you!
-
Such a serious, intelligent, self aware person Celeste is!
-
I came back to listen to Celeste's first video after the second and I'm convinced that this is more of what the world needs: open, rational, empathetic conversation. Thank you for sharing this with me. It's making an impact.
