Interesting. I just tried it and my arm angle would be congruent to a female's. I don't think I ever remember my hands getting no where close to touching my legs. Weirdness -- I'm going to check out guys in the street (not like I already don't do that) but I'll check their arms. Sounds like a fun, scientific way to check out guys.
I have suspected that I could be intersexed. My voice didn't drop when I went through puberty, I couldn't have children, I'm not well endowed, never could bulk up much, I started HRT with almost an A cup pre-existing, and then there are some other features that could fit, maybe, like lack of an adams apple and I don't really have much of a brow, and I have a cute nose (okay, that probably isn't one, but I have people who say I have a cute nose and I wanted to point out my cute nose).
One thing I could do was grow hair on my face, but I had to wait until I was an adult for that to happen, before that nothing grew much. And growing a full one was hard, so I had a goatee. My brother could always grow a much thicker, well defined full beard (he's had one for years and years).
It was weird, I didn't have much happen and then I was on a church mission and also undergoing therapy to make me more "guy" like, which including medication. I don't recall being given T, although I might have, but I wonder what the meds I was did to maybe make me produce some or suppress E. *shurgs* I just took a cocktail of 32 pills and I don't know what half of them were. Being trans isn't an option in the church. But I don't think T comes in pills, so it might have been the medications doing something (some of them suppress E and can bring up T). One other symptom I got from the medication was that I was violent for the first time in my life -- I hated it. I went from being a nice sweet kid to someone punching out other missionaries lights out, punching holes threw windows, and being a very nasty person to be around. I had a lot of rage. All of those symptoms left shortly after my mission and I was put on a different cocktail with fewer pills.
So, when I got home I was still on a medication program and going back and forth to hospitals. My voice started to crack a bit when I was 20-21 and my voice went down a bit. I could grow hair and my body hair got much thicker and I got more of it.
After I was off all of those meds and living in the real world, I could still grow the hair but my voice stopped cracking and it didn't go down any more.
And then as the next few years went by, nothing happened, no more changes, except I started to lose libido and was back to not being able to bulk up my muscles. I have stretch marks from when they grew, they are horrible looking. I figured that my T levels were down for some reason. I don't know for sure, actually, because I didn't get things tested.
But, now things are fine with the HRT. My health has improved, the E is working great, and I feel much happier. I don't get depression like I used to -- I still get it, but less frequently. HRT seems to be the best thing that has ever happened to me. I've noticed a lot of improvements over all, and not just feminizing. I can actually think clearly, for example -- before things were alwasy fuzzy and I felt zombie-ish. I also have energy -- before I was always tired feeling. So, HRT has literally made me feel normal. I can actually function now.
I asked my doctor about getting things tested, but he refused to test genes and other things. He was afraid that I might use it to validate myself in an unhealthy way. He said that it is possible that I could be intersexed, but I should look forward to the future and realize that I'm a girl and I need no more validation than that.
Still, I can't help but to be intrigued with the idea... not so much as a validation, but maybe as a way to answer questions about my past.
