Editing Turner syndrome (section)

== Cultural & social impacts ==
In many cultures, the symptoms of Turner Syndrome—particularly short stature and infertility—carried social stigmas. Historically, women who were unable to conceive were often marginalized or considered undesirable as wives. For example, Turner syndrome has been identified with the [[ayelonit]] gender category in [[Rabbinic Judaism]], where it connoted an apparent woman with "masculine" characteristics. While the understanding of TS has improved, the psychological impact of infertility remains a significant concern for many women with the condition.<ref name=":0">{{Citation |last=Hensley |first=Paula L. |title=Turner Syndrome |date=2004 |encyclopedia=Encyclopedia of Women’s Health |pages=1345–1347 |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-0-306-48113-0_449 |access-date=2024-10-10 |place=Boston, MA |publisher=Springer US |doi=10.1007/978-0-306-48113-0_449 |isbn=978-0-306-48073-7}}</ref> In modern times, advocacy groups have played a vital role in raising awareness and offering support to those with TS, helping to reduce stigma and provide better access to medical care.<ref name=":0" />
