So the question is which female body type do you most closely associate with currently:

   Inverted Triangle - wide shouldered
   Rectangle - straight up and down
   Apple - wide at the waist
   Pear - big hips / rear-end
   Hour Glass - Nipped in at the waist

Yeah I know there are variations on this but it seems to cover most of the shapes out there. If in doubt just go for the best match.

Apologies if something like this poll has appeared before - I couldn't be bothered to search through the whole list to check as it's 2am.

FWIW I'm an inverted triangle  :( .

You could have put barrel shaped in there. That's what I would be.

Lol! Barrel-shaped = Apple

I'm somewhere between hourglass and rectangle. Like...I nip in just a titch at the waist, but not a lot. I have really killer hips though  ;) and for someone who is genetically male, I have got a KILLER bum.
To strive to reach the apex of evolution is folly, for to achieve the pinnacle is to birth a god.

When the Stryker fires, all turn to dust in its wake.

I'm technically hourglass due to my shoulders but to me when I look in the mirror I see more of a pear shape when I'm wearing clothes.

I am said to have notably large ass and thighs, which is consistent with the pear shape. A couple of days ago, this thing said pear too.

So going with the pear. :)

Banana,
which is basically straight. (or rectangle on this scale I suppose)
so I'm hopeful that HRT will push me towards hourglass

mmmmm

Pear shape isn't possible for MTF unless for those few who start hormone replacement therapy at 11 or 12, go through normal puberty AND have pear shape genes in family. Even most cis women aren't genetically predispositioned to have pear shape body, which would mean tiny narrow shoulders & ribcage, and broad large pelvis.

Inverted triangle with slightly bigger butt (for a genetic male that is). Can't really loose anything above my abdomen cause it's pretty much skinny with little muscle.

I give up because hour glass, rectangle, and inverted triangle all describe my body depending on how you look at it. Much of it is due the fact that I don't have much fat on my body and people are always telling me not to lose any more weight. At one time i was 5'14" and 140 pounds. Talk about a sack of skin and bones!!!!

Or has a disproportionately wide lower body half.

I was not able to find a formal definition of the shape; also notably the linked page doesn't consider shoulders width so there is space for confusion. Do you happen to have one at hand?

I was always jealous of her body... pear shape often comes with short legs, and she has the most amazing legs along with perfect pear shaped body...

Yeah, on the pic the body shape looks like a pear + the shoulders. Not envious of it though. :)

I was hoping for some sci source on the topic that would settle some criteria. Without that, there is space for stretches and interpretations.

Also, I believe transwomen should be able to have those limits adapted to their own boundaries when describing their body shapes.

I didn't think there are scientists who spend their time setteling criteria for womens body shapes. I guess you never know.. although I personally believe good old common sense might be good enough for most people to distinguish between different body shapes.

I just had liposuction & a tummy tuck 3 weeks ago, what curves I have now, so pretty, thin flat stomach, thin waist & nice hips. A woman's body for sure. That is so nice. I do not want to remotely resemble a "trans woman" just a nice woman. It was worth the $ & pain. GF's you should consider it if your body is wrong. Luckly my body is balanced, 5 '9", small feet, small hands. I could use some larger hips but I'll wait for that. Guess I'm lucky.
mtF, mid 50's, always a girl since childhood, HRT (Spiro, E & Fin.) since 8-13. Hormone levels are t at 12 & estrogen at 186. Face lift & eye lid surgery in 2014. Abdominoplasty/tummy tuck & some facial surgery May, 2015. Life is good for me. Love long nails & handsome men! Hopeful for my GRS & a nice normal depth vagina maybe by late summer. 5' 8", 180 pounds, 14 dress size, size 9.5 shoes. I'm kind of an elegant woman & like everything pink, nice & neet. Love my nails & classic Revlon Red. Moving back to Florida, so excited but so much work moving
