I presume I'm XY
With my feet together, only my knees touch the slightest bit.  It's hard to tell.  I said nothing touches.
Is that a good thing? a bad thing?  Marcy says I have great legs  That could be bad too, I guess??

Both knees and ankles touch and everything seems aligned when standing with feet hip width apart, but I was born bow legged thankfully they corrected it right after.

Both touch.  I'm pre everything except attitude.  Remember, birth females have wider pelvis's, affecting the thigh bone angle, connected to the ... never mind.  Remember also, males have a couple of attachments that get in the way, forcing a wider stance for comfort.  Senator Craig waasn't totally wrong.  >:-)

I don't quite understand the nature of the post? the objective for me is to get the right fat distribution on my legs, ankles and butt. You could be XX, XY, YY etc but without the right fat distribution your legs may look male. My legs are particulary thin and boney and don't fit the profile.

I am not sure if fat alone will affect it, there is the Q-angle, remember? which is probably unrelated to the nature of touching ankles and knees.

I went out with my girlfriend not this halooween, but last halloween.  I wore her leggings and she said herself that I had better legs than her!  I've worked a long time to get slim legs, long time indeed. Now, my girlfriends leggings look better on me than on her. I had guys telling me that they would 'take me home'. Dream come through for me. Back to my point. Leg geometry. Imo, if there is a difference, average person wont notice it. Shave your legs and that's it imo. Very few people are gonna question it any further.

I have seen some pictures of trans women where you can tell they have more masculine legs. But I don't think it has much to do with the question of whether the knees touch. It has more to do with their overall length compared to the torso (men's are comparatively short), the angle of the thighs (straighter for men; slanted outward for women), and the width of the hips (narrower for men). Musculature is also a factor -- women's muscles are simply not as defined most of the time. Fat has little to do with it, really.

Frankly, I think my legs are one of my better physical assets, and that's true for at least one other trans woman I know. A skirt, depending on the cut, can be a good way to show legs off and make them look longer, and often flatter a figure with narrower hips. If I want to look my best, I definitely prefer skirts or dresses. Heels too, if I can get over being self-consious about my height. Because of the way they alter your stance and lengthen the legs overall, heels just make legs loke more feminine.
All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.
