Downs syndrome doesn't affect a sex chromosome, while those other ones do? And they affect the presentation of sexual characteristics?

All chromosomes are passed down through sexual reproduction. Chromosomal aberration, of sex chromosome or not, does not result in people of a different sex. Chromosomal aberration of sex chromosomes often results in underdeveloped sex organs and infertility, but a wan with Turner syndrome still has a uterus. XXY and XYY boys are still have penises. These are not different genders.
