Those are my results. Born a woman and happy with it. I am not sure what they mean by socializing in an androgynous manner. Still, very interesting to see what they came up with.
Taking the test now. There should be an option on question 65: 6) A lemur is NOT A MONKEY. You are a geek.
Apparently I’m androgenous, and a F to M crossdresser. Well, I AM wearing my boyfriend’s sweater today, but that’s not for any reason but practicality. Certainly not so accurate a test.
Neither are any of the other choices IIRC A chimpanzee, a gorilla, and an orangutan. All three of these animals are apes.
Most of the questions are rather pointless anyway. In our culture men are supposed to use powertools and women are supposed to quilt. But interest in either of these things has no relevance to sexual orientation or gender identity.

Most of the questions were kind of stupid-I am NOT touchy-feely, and I HATE hugging people I don’t know, or don’t know very well, but what does THAT have to do with anything?
Pretty true. (I guessed a lot on the measuring questions, since I couldn’t find my tape measure-probably in the sewing basket)
OK, I’m just going to give you suggestions and not argue about the validity of your choice if that’s alright w/ you. To quote a wise man, “It’s your thing, do whatcha wanna do.”
When I see someone who has a hairstyle I would love to have, I approach them and ask them where they had it done. I would suggest taking a well-trusted female friend w/ you to do this in your stead. I imagine that any salon that likewise makes wigs and wiglets will make them for whomever asks and pays. Keep in mind the shape and size of your face and thickness of your neck when thinking about how you want your hair to frame them. There are some great sites online for makeup application. You’ll first want to shave carefully w/ a very good razor.
To figure out your feminine shoe size, I can only offer you this bit of info; I wear a woman’s 8.5 and a guy’s 7.5 is a little small for me. (Gotta have my black Vans!) Do the math! Go to somewhere cheap and get a pair of inexpensive shows in a size you’ve guesstimated and go from there. You can always exchange them. Don’t bother getting high heels if you plan to wear them out; walking very badly in heels is a dead give away for a Xdresser. Start low and work your way up.
I’m sure you’ll go through a similar thought process as girls do when they start to take on adult women’s tasks; fun at first, then tedious, then wondering how they got lead down this crappy path in the first place!? Before you know it, the only time you’ll shave your legs is when you go for a pedicure!
Thank you, Portia. Going to be taking it slowly here, a step at a time, and my outer wear will be mostly unisex, at least starting out. The whole thing is a bit overwhelming.
Meanwhile, it seems like we can count the SAGE as a pretty unreliable indicator.
On a quick re-read of the thread, I didn’t see this mentioned. Look at your state and county laws on what weapons are legal. Choose one that you are able and willing to use if necessary.
Is that um to the whole post, or just the bolded part? For the post, I was thinking of Brandon Tina and Gwen Arujo. As for the bolded word, I meant not to carry pepper spray or whatever with the expectation that you’ll never have to use it and being reluctant to use it when needed.
DocCathode, I just want to say thank you for making this so clear. What you said is true of me and it makes me glad to have that understood. When I wear dresses it isn’t masturbatory. It feels like I’ve finally come home to my true self and brings a sense of existential relief, not orgasmic relief.
Somehow I’m just not ready to “take it to the streets” yet. Deirdre McCloskey, in her book Crossing: A Memoir explained why she got face feminization surgery. She had to make herself able to “pass” as a woman and not be “read” as a man in public, not for the sake of vanity. But in order to ***protect her life. ***There’s an all-too-real danger of transgendered and transsexual people being attacked, beat up, and even murdered just for crossing the damn sacred gender boundary.
