I have never seen this posted here, so I thought I would mention it.

Evidently most MtF Transsexuals have female arms. I always wondered why I throw a ball like a girl. I found out I have girl arms. If a man hangs his arms by his side and turns his thumbs out, his arms still hang down straight. If a woman does it, her arms taper out from the elbows out away from her body. It seems most MtF transsexuals, including me, have arms that do this.

Curiosier and curiosier... (Looking at hands).

What is the source of this information?

It was mentioned in one of the videos posted on this site:

Well it looks like I'm "male" with that test. Did you ever do the one where you put a chair down step back just enough to bend forward, lean your head against the wall and try to grab the chair and stand up? "Men" can't but women can. And me for whatever reason?!?! :-\

AWESOME! The "All in the Family" test!!! LOL

I can't do it..

Mixed messages... My arms turn out with the thumb test. On the other hand, I can't pick up the chair and stand up, either.

MrT, I think your test has to do with center of gravity. Most women carry more weight in there caboose.

Hairless, I assume you mean thumbs out with the palms facing forward?

My goodness! It's true for me. I'm going to be asking a whole bunch of guys to do that.

Very interesting indeed.

Punkypink, you assume correctly. My therapist had to try it also. He has guy arms.

I've just run the test on:

suspected MtF male

A confirmed cisgendered male (he's a crossdresser but is firmly male identified)

3 more supposed cisgendered males.

Suspected MtF male: arms taper outwards

Confirmed cisgendered male: arms hang straight down

Supposed cisgendered males: arms taper outwards.

One of the supposed cisgendered males tends to be attracted to lesbian females more. Another one is gay.

None of the subjects were told the purpose of the test or what the results indicate before answering.

I'm trying to expand the sample size, but I do think there is no reliable physical indicator of transsexualism, since transsexualism occurs when the genetic instinctive gender identity does not match the genetic physical sex.
