14/16 here. That blonde on the upper right just _has_ to be a girl; and the dark complected one on the left, part way down, ??? I can’t see it with those two! ---

15/16 one way you can tell is by the eyebrows. Guys always over pluck. The one that fooled me was the girl with the scowl on her face. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by KellyM \* > \*\*Personally, I find the whole thing offensive. As far as I can tell, **all** of them are female; none of them are men. The author is making the double error of assuming that all transgenders are “shemales” and that shemales are “men”. Neither statement is true. This site spreads ignorance, rather than combating it. \*\* Yeah, but how did you score? ---

13/16. How the heck is the second blonde down on the right a guy? Other than that I got all the transgendered individuals right, there were some pretty nasty ones. ---

15/16 The eyebrows, like **Hillbilly Queen** said. The makeup-most women don’t use contour makeup or heavy opaque foundation. ---

11 / 16 Half trying, don’t care ---

16/16, though I did have to make an educated guess on the woman on all 4’s with her face not in clear view. There’s no fooling Waverly. KellyM, I had no idea that term was considered so offensive. I’m pretty sure the intent was just to see if one could distinguish between women and men dressed as women, but thanks for pointing out the misconception. ---

12/16 Some of those girls are very manly looking…that is kind of tricky just going by facial shots… hah…no pun intended… ---

13/16. I went by the makeup too. If those transgendered fellows went with more natural makeup, I would have missed even more. ---

14/16 - I had very top and very bottom of lthe left column wrong. It’s interesting how obvious they are in the subtle differences of womens vs mens facial features. ---

…worked fine for me, but I need to work on my powers of observation. 12/16 BTW, this is one of those “let’s play cheesy music” sites - those of you at work have been warned. As for those of us who hate country music, well, a quick dive for the mute button fixed that right up. ---

Well I got 15 out of sixteen, but much of that was simply a recognition of the rhetorical purpose of the site. The pre-op transgenders (assuming that’s what they were) were trying hard to look like women. Whoever put the quiz together chose fairly “masculine” looking women to throw people off. I’m pretty sure that more casual pictures would be more difficult to identify. ---

15/16. I missed the one on the bottom left…that’s one feminine looking man, imho. ---

15/16 Colour me shocked! I tended to go on the hardness of lines around the chin. And I mean absolutely no offense. ---
