Male or female handwriting meh, It all comes down to penmanship in my opinion. Fast or slow this is how I write



Yes there is actual handwriting on that paper. I was the bane of my teachers and have had forms handed back to me because people don't relise I have already signed them

I have the same view. My handwriting has changed so much over the past five years, but I finally reached the point where I couldactually read it, about three years ago.  Here it is now.

Wow...are you a calligrapher? Your handwriting is very fancy.

Not professionally, just as an amateur hobby. My handwriting used to be so bad I couldn't even read it.

When I sit down to actually write something like poetry or a diary entry my handwriting is very tidy and stylish. It's not big and loopy, but I often combine print with cursive and accentuate certain letters when it seems to flow that way. If I'm just writing something down as a note, or filling out a form, it's a bit more uneven and lumpy. But honestly, handwriting really isn't a signifier of gender; not entirely. There are those specific cases where it's very obvious, but many of my female friends have handwriting that is indistinguishable.

Here's an example of my writing when I'm not really trying to be all that neat:

Never quite got the hang of full cursive, so the handwriting tends to be a bit half-and-half, I always thought the style was fairly neutral.

I've always been told i've had really girly handwriting.

I was a teacher so I had nice readable writing that actually really was more printing. Things have deteriorated, but more because I'm retired and don't need it to be so readable.

Handwriting, how quaint?
