Title: Genetic women with wide shoulders and narrow hips
Post by: GrayKat on October 28, 2017, 11:19:09 PM
Now that I look, I notice a lot of them and no one misgenders them. I also notice celebrity women, ones considers beautiful by society, have this body shape. Like check this out, Michelle Rodrigues. It seems like for trans women the femininity bar is set much higher.

I'd have to agree she does have wider shoulders & narrow hips.. though i know the 'androgenous' woman is kind of a new thing for modeling these days (think square jaws).   I don't like it, but ... it is what it is.

Demi Moore is another one!

Jennifer Garner has broad shoulders, very squarish even, though she has some hip.

And also Liv Tyler, yet another one!

It's surprisingly common to find cis women with the proportions associated with many trans women.

There are many women like this. They are physically very fit and athletic. Some are even fitness models.

Men put weight on the front of their abdomen and women put weight on their butt and thighs. When I go to the beach, the thin people all look very similar. The differences show up when we put on the excess baggage.  :embarrassed:

Yes, that is it. Inverted Triangle. I have always called it 'boyish'. Look at AJ, she is very boyish.

I was at the gym this week and was lifting arm weights in front of the mirror wall watching my technique. Two - yes 2 -other women joined the area and all three of us had inverted triangle shapes. All three of us were doing upper torso exercises.

Now either there is a high percentage of trans woman training in this gym or there is a range of normal body shapes among women.

Nicole Kidman as well.  Tall and thin with more shoulder than hip.

Another thing on body shape is that lack of muscle and strength in most women is more a cultural norm than biological imperative.   Normalized for body size they have nearly the same potential as men.

I am AFAB. I have wider shoulders than hips. When I train, I easily build up muscle mass. I have had problems wearing shirts and jackets because of my big shoulders. When I was a goalie in hockey all I could wear was T-shirts.

I have been motivated once again to go to the gym. Been there 4 times this last week. I want my athletic body back and get rid of my belly.

Yet another thing. I put my weight on my belly, not on my hips or butt. I have a flat butt.

But then again, I'm no cis woman. I'm a guy.
