The Cogiati (combined gender identity and transsexuality inventory) test

[Chandra21]

lol. I had a headache at the time, and I remembered that from when I did the quiz so thats why I decided to post it.

I didn't know females had headaches more than males. You learn something new every day ^_^

[Keira]

The migraines seems to be linked to estrogen.
Estrogen makes you more sensitive to pain in general
and it expands blood vessels (vaso-dilatator),
both these things help get more headaches.

[Maud]

If anything my pain tollerance has increased.

[Rachael]

same, i was a right sissy before, now im fairly pain tollerant, even like some

[Keira]

Well, You're going into the face of medical studies you gals... 
But, hey, every woman's her own island; there's are exceptions to every rules.

[Rachael]

pain tollerance varies per person, i cant see why its different.

[Mattie]

I'm a total pansy when it comes to pain.  I can't say I've ever gotten a migraine though.  I've had some really bad headaches but not how people describe it when they get migraines.

[Keira]

Rachael, didn't you see the thread on the study on pain and T and E in transexuals.  Of course there is individual differences, but E increases sensibility to pain, beyond those linked to those differences. For most people, this difference may be small, but for some they'll get more headaches out of it. Its the same thing that happens in reverse when you take T for ftm.

Also, like I said, migraines are also linked to vaso-dilatation of blood vessels all over the body (including those in the head); that has nothing to do with sensibility to pain, but it increases the chance of headaches.

[Rachael]

my phsyical sensitivity isnt much different, no, ive not read the thread, but im telling you how i feel,
although i must admit any headaches i get, while not more frequent, are more painful. mainly hangovers *cough*

bad -
dunno -
like a pint -
sorta miffed -

even this is better than the cogati...
god, i should write these things.... i could save lives with my indept diagnostic techniques...

[mildly disgusted over the 'test' questions]

But, but, but, let me please contribute some highly insightful and infallibly accurate queries:

--Have you ever seen a grown man naked?

--Do you like movies about gladiators?

--Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?

ok... oversly I am abit slow! I started the test however got to question 9

Which choice most closely describes why you dress up 'en femme', as a woman.
  It is a very sexy thing to do. It is very exciting. I love it!
  The only reason I do it is because it makes me feel better. I really don't do it for excitement.
  It does turn me on quite a bit,
  Mostly it just makes me feel better somehow.
  Sometimes it excites me, sometimes it's just nice.


And I got stuck..... then I realised........

[Rachael]

even if your m2f, the only way you can answer that is in a slightly sexual way, which i feel none... but it forces you assumeing you do feel some sexual excitement at 'dressng up'

Right.  That's why I say it should be rewritten.  By us.   And maybe we can come up with a test for the FtM's.  Although the BEM test seems kind of okay to me, but it could use some tweaking too.

[Rachael]

those 3 questions i wrote, were part joke, part serious, they said a lot but didnt say much, and were gender neutral. We could work on a more standardised test, but im no good at codeing stuff to make flashy tests

Questions first, then code.

I guess I should start shaking out some questions of my own.

Not to mention it assumes you dress up "as a woman."  What if I just throw girl clothes and guy clothes together and sometimes get a decent outfit out of it?  Because that's what I do.

I don't remember how I answered that one, or a lot of others that didn't quite work for me.  I seem to remember posting on this thread that I ended up with a score of -5 (Androgyne -- and right in the middle of the Androgyne category, no less.)

I'll answer your questions, Rachael: If I feel like it, no, bad (I like being able to produce my own hormones.)  What does that make me? 

[Rachael]

Andrognye?
gender is fluid, dont want to change it, miffed if you loose your current landing gear sounds about right.


Yeah, to be honest, i fail in the dressing up 'as a woman' i wear clothes designed for girls, because im that shape, and i happen to be a girl, but at the same time, i look just as good in a sundress, as i do in mens baggy jeans, trainers, and a tight tee
