Born without Adam's apple!

[Cee Myk]

I am so blessed to have been born without an Adam's apple. I never felt so lucky because it works out since I'm a transgender woman.

Congrats. I think they grow actually. Either way, unless they're super large, I don't think they're very visible. I don't have one either but I've met other TS who do & I hardly notice.

Mine is hardly noticeable but it's there. I can feel it but not really see it.

[Jill F]

I never really developed one either.  Lucky me!

I think all my T got trapped in mine, since it is as big as my nose (my nose is huge!), yet all my other body features are girly. My adams apple is not only huge it is very pointy...Looks like it is cutting thru my neck. It is the part of me that causes me the most dysphoria.

Good thing its scarf season I guess.

Even the word "Adams apple" makes me shutter... 

You are very lucky Cee!

Love,
Jade

[Cee Myk]

Yes, hurray for scarf season!

[J441]

Wow. You're lucky. Lol.

[Cee Myk]

Ouch. The thought of a trachea shave gives me the jitters! As long as you are happy.

When I was younger (before transition) I had a rather poking out adams apple as I also was really thin. While on hormone pills I was able to put weight on and it soon after covered my neck. Now you can't see any bumps on my neck. Some guy at a party a while ago who had previously been hitting on me was making a joke that went like this... how do you check if a person over in thialand is a ladyboy.... check for an adams apple. So I piped up saying that I am a transgendered person  and I don't. He was stunned.

Arrrggghhh mines quite big  Trachea Shave is on my list...

It has shrunk slightly over the years, and as I have lost weight the muscles in my neck sort of hide it slightly (age thing  ) But its definitely there!

Those with small or none are soooo lucky!

Yay to to no Adams apples, I'm glad I never developed one.

[TSJasmine]

From all the people commenting saying that they don't have one either, it seems like it's not that out of the ordinary :p

I can't be clocked by my hands neither, the 2 way to tell is hand is big n if the index finger is bigger then the ring finger, my hands are about mid size n my index finger is smaller then my ring finger

That's true on me too, but I seriously DOUBT that has anything to do with it xD I'm pretty sure it's only a myth. I'm sure people are more than likely going to look at the size of someone's hands to determine their gender than bothering to even look at how to fingers are lined up

[Cee Myk]

I've always been told I have effeminate hands. So, bottom line: people generally perceived me as transgender female long before I started the process of mentally understanding myself as such. People will always look at your traits, how you dress, what brands you wear, where you shop, what you eat, etceteras... As long as I am happy. Peace.

Phew, so relieved my index finger is shorter too.... Yay 

Still wish I had a small or no Adams Apple tho

I got one so big and pointy that it looked as if it was going to break my skin any time. Nothing that a lot of euros could not fix, though. I just wait for the scar to heal and by spring or summer stop wearing scarves.

[Clhoe G]

I don't think that's scientific ?

Plus, a more sure giveaway is the relative size of the hands compared to the rest of the body.

My hands can barely wrap around the pistol grip of a Sig P226, as a comparison.

It's sort of fairly scientific, sort of, n I sort of got it a little wrong, because all I really remembered about it was my findings on myself, which is pretty funny actually.

So I just went back n double checked it and here it is.

My index finger measures the same as my ring finger, but it looks like my index finger is shorter then my ring finger.

But here's the funny bit, with the typical female, the index finger measures the same as the ring finger or longer, but with the typical male the index finger measures shorter then the ring finger.
And even funnier, it should be noticeable with just a look, but that's not always the case. 

So here's how to measure the D2:D4 ratio

Sorry all for the inaccurate information before

[ChrissyChips]

Yay! no adams apple for me either! And shorter ring finger...hmmmm...I wonder if that could be seen as a good indicator for my genetics with regard to HRT, yep, I think I'm gonna choose to believe that, lol

[Wild Flower]

I look at guys hands a lot to guess how feminine or not... I think theres something to it.

I thought it was smaller index to ring ≒ masculine
