I'm 50/50...so it says, with is almost exact, as I have a masculine side (very masculine) and a very feminine side.

Am I the only one who finds this (and a host of similar pop tests) off putting? It traffics in the most trite and obvious stereotypes. I hardly think our Yoli is less feminine because of her skill and interest in firearms. Consider how you would respond to a similar test of racial stereotypes. "Are you Black or White: take our test." "You are going to work would you wear 1) a three piece suit, or 2) baggy pants and gang colors?" "How high can you jump?"

"Do you eat chitlins and watermelon?" " Would you rather have a new 1)Cadillac El Dorado or 2) BMW series 7?" Such a test would be considered offensive even if it was often accurate. After all stereotypes are stereotypes because they are often at least partly true.

And I find it a little sad that so many of us trans people feel the need to somehow validate their femininity with these bogus online tests. Though I sometimes disagree with her on these forums, I hugely admire Punkypink for her insistence on being exactly who she wants to be and not some trite stereotype.

Here's my results:

You Are 40% Boyish and 60% Girlish You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch.

Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes.

You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them.

You're just you. You don't try to be what people expect you to be.

My scores exactly. I disagree with the 60% girlish, but I like the written description.

70% female, 30%male. Communication: female. But aren't "percentages" a male thing in the first place?

I was 50/50. Imagine that!

took the test - 20% boyish - 80% girlish

60% girlish, 40% boyish

I communicate like a man

"When you communicate, you like to get to the point.

You're not afraid to say what's on your mind - and leave it at that.

Talking about your emotions drains you. You rather keep them to yourself.

You prefer solving problems to wallowing in your sorrows."

Well... yes, when I communicate it's blunt, to the point and exactly what's on my mind (gets me in trouble all the time) however, I rarely communicate - I'd rather just sit in my corner and be left alone, which is probably where the third l

But you also tend to wear your heart on your sleeve "

Almost correct, I suppose I am "savvy" or at least know what is - I just rarely can be bothered being it or acknowledging it.

I do need to learn how to keep my heart where it belongs tho :-\

For the record - I'm straight - leaning towards asexual, I just don't care about sex - I like having someone to come home to...

I'm 80% boyish, 20% girlish. Even though I'm a cocksucker , that describes my personality to a "T" .

I hope replying to this old thread isn't counted as annoying...
