Researchers looked at pairs of identical twins where one of each set was straight
The homosexual twin tended to have a more 'male' hand with differing fingers
Essex University scientists said the differences may be determined in the womb _____________________________________________________________________
The length of a person's fingers could provide a clue to their sexuality, with women whose ring fingers are longer than their index digits more likely to be lesbian, a study has suggested.
Researchers at Essex University looked at sets of identical twins where one of the siblings was heterosexual.
They found that the homosexual twin tended to have a greater difference between the length of their index and ring finger, with the difference most pronounced among women.
Previous research has indicated that exposure to the male hormone testosterone in the womb could be linked to differences in finger length and also to sexuality.
Women's index and ring fingers are typically of similar length while in men there is a greater difference.
Both men and women are exposed to the 'male' hormone testosterone in the womb.
The study observed that in 18 sets of female twins, the lesbian twin had more 'male-typical' hands than her straight sister.

“MAN HANDS”
Wow. Amazing sample size of 18.
WOW all these years and I had no idea! I apparently have the “homosexual finger length indicator” going.
I bet they won’t do a study on what percentage of women with longer ring fingers are NOT gay.
Women that are built like dudes, like p****. News at 11...
Gosh and all this time I thought your sexuality was determined by whether you were born with a penis or a vagina. Who knew?
So is this the new head phrenology?
I bet they don’t either
Barrack’s girlie hands mean he doesn’t have a twin?
On the ‘24’ threads here, Katee Sackhoff was called ‘Man Hands’.
Or the hormones generated by your sex organs. (Not from a bottle.)
That proves it. I am a lesbian. Can’t wait to tell my wife.
I got a finger for them.
They tend to be fat and least half their head has a crew cut.
Boy, those morons at EsSex U should have seen that comin’.
I don’t know.
I’ll haveta check my pigeon entrails.................
