Yes, the fact that Turner's patients have (partially dysgenic) ovaries, uterus etc. is what makes them female (this is why medical sources describe them as females).
So the body is female. There is no real dilemma to resolve phenotypically since one can't really defend the position that they are males (no testes etc.).
There is a dilemma genotypically since not only can we find (necessarily paternal) Y chromatin material in some patients, we think *the* way a zygote winds up with only one X chromosome is because the Y it needed to pair with didn't work the way it normally does (even though we can't find Y chromatin in all Turner's patients).
All this to say that the EO wise in avoiding mentioning chromosomes to avoid having to work around dilemmas like these.
