Physical Markers of Transsexuals - Follow-up Comments

I tried the arm test and I can't touch my sides. And I am transsexual. I never noticed this before and I found your theory to be most interesting. Thank you. ^_^

This is very interesting. I'm a Male-to-Female TS. As a child I was always criticized for having my arms stick out the way you've noted by my parents. The way I ran, threw a baseball, and a few other things were noted as 'girly'. Would you be willing to do another video detailing other markers; like the differences in facial features, hip and shoulder structures, and everything else you've mentioned?

Thank you for the video

I agree with you ..I am Ts and I do have the arm angle that you mentioned

i can never touch my thighs it that position

I honestly thought of getting MRI on my brain to check my stria terminalis BST

however it wont change how I feel about myself

thanks again,Ashley

When people says, "I've had reassignment surgery, so I'm a woman now," they don't mean they have changed their DNA from XY to XX. They are speaking only of the inner sense that they have a female mind and are making the body indistinguishable from an XX female body as much as possible through surgery. But even beyond that, at the physical (not genetic) level, many transgendered folk congenitally have more female body attributes than the general male population. That's my point.

A further thought. I notice 1/3 of the people who rate this video don't like it (though 2/3 do). I can only imagine that the 1/3 who don't like it believe the bodies of trangensder m2f people are the same as normal male bodies. I'm saying they aren't. I'm saying m2f bodies show signs of more female attributes than normal male bodies, often in subtle but observable ways. They are a physical indicator of whatever caused the mental trangenserism in the first place.

@ldyreal crossdressers arent freaks just as any other member of the tg community arent freaks division amongst the tg community doesnt help anyone and you are a poor representative of that community just because someone is different than yourself doesnt make them a freak there are many different shades of transgenderism and i think thats beautiful what a dull place the world would be if there were only people like yourself who think they have all the answers

I am transsexual, and I also happen to be a prosthetic and orthotic technician.  Regarding the issue with the arm, there is a term for that. It's called the Carry Angle. It's called that because it was first noted in women carrying bags at arm's length. It is believed that it exists to allow women to swing their arms while walking without striking their broader hips. It is a specific angle of 5-15 degrees, with women at the extreem.
