Well, I was thinking, womens chromosomes are XX and guys chromosomes are XY, so because down's sydrome is caused from having an extra chromosome, are they female or male? ...Or both? xD Does XYY make them male and XXX make them female or something?

The chromosome that causes Down Syndrome is different from the chromosomes that cause a person to be male or female. A person with Down syndrome can be male or female. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. Down syndrome is caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21.

A human has 46 chromosomes and when a baby gets an extra chromosome (making 47) that is when they have down syndrome the XY and XX is just the type of chromosome. So the answer is Both. males and females can have down syndrome
