[http://www2.b3ta.com/femaleorshemale3/#](http://www2.b3ta.com/femaleorshemale3/#) This is a test of your perceptions… good luck! I scored 15 out of 16 which must mean I’m no fool. ---

You did really good. I got 12. Shoulders, cheekbones, and eyes, in that order, are the telling features. ---

There is just something very NOT delicate in a man’s features. I see thicker features on guys. ---

12/16. I was better picking the fakes than I was the real. I’ve known a lot of drag queens; they’ve thrown off my perceptions. ---

1. 62.5% of the shemales correct, 85% of the females. ---

I can’t believe I’m going to do this, but… I **could** tell, but then I’d have to kill you 😉 (And no, after the test I took that showed how many behavior and psychiatric disorders I have, I’m afraid to take this test, so I didn’t) ---

10/16 :o BUT, I scored equally well, 62.5% of shemales, and 62.5% of women. Of course, some of those were just hoping that they were women, or shemales, as the picture dictated. _shudders_ ---

I got an 11. One I meant to click female, but that’s still only a 12. I guess I was looking a little too hard into some of the ladies. ---

That is one of the tackiest links anyone has put on this board. The term “shemale” is offensive and the asinine graphic on the page is insulting. You should have thought about how it would affect the transexual and transgendered folks on the board before you posted that. Personally I’d find it less offensive if it was “Woman or Drag Queen” but “shemale” is right out. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/can-you-tell/217289.md?page=2)
