My problem is when using my mouse on my lap top with my index finger my pinky finger sticks out above my hand and it is making my hand hurt

Does your pinky finger stick out above your hand while doing things ??

Um... I don't get that. My thumb holds the left side of the mouse, my pinky finger holds the right side, and the other three fingers are on the two buttons and the wheel.

I think she is talking about the touchpad on a laptop, not a regular mouse.

Yes, when I drive my car, I never put my pinkies on the steering wheel.  They just stick out there uselessly.

Noo i mean on a laptop where you just use your index finger to move the mouse over the screen not a movable mouse

yes a touch screen

Yea my pinky fingers seem to be useless and i never really use them for anything

This came up on google search...OMG.. I was doing research for someone else.. I had already looked into this long ago..
It is worth mentioning my carry angle is nearly 30% and finger index super female 1.07
However this does not mean others are not trans if they do not have these secondary sex characteristics...
Cause of being trans is not known and there are most likely several causes we may never understand.. it is what it is..

The digit ratio seems to be somewhat sexually dimorphic but it tends to also vary with ethnicity.

People of my ethnicity have a less than 1 digit ratio, male and female. It's not universal but I've seen quite a few cis women with a lower digit ratio. Mine is about 1.01 or so.

Carry angle is pretty much as a woman's would be.

I believe it was HughE who was pointing out that a lot of trans people have physical characteristics of women in many respects. This as they theorized is a form of intersex. I guess so. Well, whatever. I am who I am.

My carry angle seems like a woman's. But I asked my male partner to do the thing and see how far his arms stick out and there's no way his is just a straight line down either. My finger ratio is like the heterosexual men's according to the study on the ratio and sexuality. My little finger doesn't stick out.

Even though I know that these are merely trends and many cis women don't fit the stereotypes in every particular these kind of measurements always make me doubt myself and get unhappy. I try to avoid thinking about them, but it's not easy. I think my carry angle might be good, but I know that my finger ratio is no where near. But then most of my girlfriends' aren't either.

My index and ring fingers are the same length. And just for fun, I found the following statement...

And finally... To discover if you have a male or female brain, clasp your hands together so your fingers entwine. Now look at your thumbs. Which thumb is on top? If you are a man, the odds are it will be the left thumb. If you are a woman, it is more likely to be your right thumb.

Right thumb on top suggests the left half of your brain is dominant, which scientists believe gives you the more female attributes of being verbally skilled and having empathy.

Left thumb on top suggests the right half of your brain is dominant and that you excel in the male attributes of being visually and spatially aware

Just did it and the left thumb was on top. Doing it the other way feels very strange and not at all the instinctive way I arrange my hands when doing that.

We might as well take the full battery of tests!

I did not know this.. interesting... and yes my right thumb is on top..  weird as it is..
Anyway  going out with friends Friday night.. I will ask the guys to clasp their hands together but I don't dare tell them why or what it means... not that it means that much.. I think.......  LOL..

aaahhh..... just to reinforce I've always been the odd one out. Left hand , index and ring fingers same length. Right hand ring finger longer. Turn my palms forward and edge of my hands a good 7-8" from thighs. Clasp my hands and right thumb always on top. But I'm left handed so science says I should be right side brain dominate ! Geeez I never seem to fit in anywhere ?

Exactly the opposite for me. Always would put my right thumb over, the other way felt so strange, almost like i was not interlocking my fingers at all.

This is strange.  Even though I am AFAB, my ring finger is noticeably longer than my index finger; like the "man" hand.

When I look up "woman's hand" on google, most of the ring fingers are the same or less than the index finger.

I'm genuinely surprised by this. I thought everyone's ring fingers were naturally longer than their index fingers until I saw this.

And just so you know I'm not saying this just because I'm a dude, here's my hand



Very weird

Also should add, I'm not heterosexual. I'm bi.

My index finger is much longer (and my hands are bigger than most girls i know). When i heard the index finger thing the first time i was told it indicated lesbianism, but I'm bi, leaning strongly towards guys. I guess that might be a case of conflating gender and sexuality but I've always thought it was just one of those fake internet facts...

Great, never noticed the whole carrying angle thing. Mine's definitely over 10-degrees, and now I can't help but feel like my arms are crooked! I guess they'd have to be at an angle to accommodate my hips though.
