I've always been a leg crosser. For me it is the most comfortable way of sitting although I appreciate it isn't for those with large thighs. I went out with a woman once who sat with her legs fairly wide apart even when in a skirt, she seemed oblivious to the fact her knickers were on display. I rarely see women seated that way, usually it is the guys...I sometimes get on a train to see five seats taken up by three men because apparently their junk is too massive to let them sit with their legs together.

So how about you?!

I've always crossed my legs like a woman, one knee over the other.

Hmmm, together with calves vertical, or with both feet slightly off to one side (depends on how high the chair is :D) and crossed, one knee over the other, particularly on the metro to annoy people trying to pass.... ;D

Big thighs so crossed at the knees is the best i can pull. When in restricted spaces knees together. At home alone whichever i feel  ;D

No position remains comfortable for me for long so I am constantly shifting my position to stay comfortable. I do all of the first 3 choices, but never sit like a guy with my legs splayed out.

I have crossed my legs so much in the past that I have a habit of wearing out the pants above the knee area where the other leg rests on it.

Keeping my knees together is quite uncomfortable for me even beyond crushing my male bits.

Mostly knees together. If I do cross then I make sure it's not for long periods because of potential issues with pins and needles and blood flow restriction.

In public, crossed at the knees, at home my default position is splayed out like a cat.

I have yet to wear a skirt or dress, so I don't really have a need to keep my legs together. I know I'll never be one who crosses my legs, because that position is just unbearably uncomfortable for me to hold for any length of time. I like sitting with my ankles crossed. It just makes me feel girlier somehow. And sometimes I sit with my legs together and my knees folded and pulled up towards my face... Honestly, my sitting position probably changes constantly. I don't stick with any particular one. :P

It's funny... I really have no idea how most cis women sit when wearing skirts or dresses. All the cis girls I know are more of the casual blue jeans and T-shirts types.

Sitting like a lady for me took some getting use to.. that one of the finer things about passing. sitting correctly

I've always tended to sit with my ankles crossed. It just feels natural to me, so that's how I'll keep doing it.

I had no idea crossing at the ankles was girly. I guess I've been girly all my life because I just did it without a second thought.

Haha... I remember when I first came out, I thought everyone would be so surprised because I had worked so hard to keep my true self hidden. I was sure everyone saw me as this uber masculine manly man. Apparently, it's a lot harder to hide who you really are than I thought. Looking back on it now, I'm sure there were a ton of things I did that most guys didn't, and I didn't even realize.

Try to sit with knees together or ankles crossed. Sometimes crossed at knees or semi open, still together at thighs most times.
