It seems to me that the British Girl-group The Saturdays are fairly representative of young women. Have a look at each of them and see which one you identify with most. :)

If I am to judge only from body language, I would say that I most identify with the one in the middle.

They all seem a little too femme to be anyone I identify with...now admittedly, the one on the far right of the first picture has a little bit of a Lita Ford look to her (albeit a little larger), and I *did* get along with her when we did a charity event in Houston circa '92.
Now if you had put a picture of Shane (The L Word) up there...THEN maybe we get a little closer in terms of attitude :)

It's hard to say from a picture. I'd honestly need to know more about their personalities. From just the pictures alone, however:
First pic: second from the right
Second pic: far right

I agree with you!
The woman in the first picture is Frankie Sandford.
The woman in the second is Sarah Harding.

For the original picture, without knowing them, I would say the far left. Sometimes I have that same "deer in headlights" look that she does.
For the girls_aloud, perhaps the 4th from the left. She has kinda the "WTF" look on her face.
But as far as personality matches, I have no idea. I've never heard of these girls before tbh :(

None, I can't identify with that overtly westernized style femme look . Maybe its nice for the majority of women and the TG community but my own background and interests in life isn't really the same...and I am almost 27, not a 15 year old girl, it's different
I like a combination of both popular and more alternative eastern/african styles, it's hard to tell..but women who look like this are 'close' to how I see myself in my fantasy ^^

I don't know any of these people but for what ever reason I was drawn to the 4th from the left in the first picture. I have no idea why. No one in the second picture.

Geez, you could add up all their boobs and still not get a B cup!
I'm def the girl in the leather jacket, I've always identified with a look that gives me a somewhat rough-around-the-edges, haughty, alternative look - I used to look quite a bit near that characteristic before my growth-regulation condition. In terms of hair, I love very large curls, large waves, somewhat sassy, very standout. I truly have a standout mind, and I've always felt that I deserve a standout look to match. And I adore very textured jackets, almost very Michael Jackson crazy outfits. Very powerful looks. I've accomplished a lot in my life both emotionally and artistically, and I've always wanted a look that says "This is me", instead of having the features of my possible growth disease.
I guess that's why I'm a bit of a strange trans, I truly look extremely masculine and Adromegaloid as it is, but even when I get FFS, I still want a very defined look that really gives me a "Sandra Bullock"-ish strength. I sort of want a combination of being female and accessible while still seeming stand-out and haughty. I truly don't ever want a bubbly, chubby cutsie look, I hope my transition really brings me to a place that even beyond gender just represents the personality I have inside me, and really, even a bit like Judge Judy's facial characteristics, I've always wanted a "powerful woman" essence. My sister grew up to have this exact look, and I've always been so extremely jealous!
I guess that's just what I'd describe myself as; I see myself as having a very powerful female personality, and having a powerful personality is something that's very hard to portray to people without having the looks that match. Very healthily self-empowered (but not rude) people just tend to love wearing their hearts and souls on their sleeves - in fact, appearance and wearing "trophies" of the personality was up upmost importance to the tribes of my ancestors - and I feel the same way about facial characteristics and outfits. It's even beyond gender, to me, it's a full personality that I can't properly or functionally express while looking like a caveman. Passing's not even possible for me after all, much less walking around with sass and umph!

If you classify yourself by which female celebrity or model you look like, then you have bought into the stereotypes our society imposes on women.

Without more information, I'm leaning towards not identifying with any of them. Neither group looks particularly diverse, though.
