How FINGER LENGTH could reveal your sexuality: Study finds women with more 'male' hands

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.

That proves it. I am a lesbian. Can’t wait to tell my wife.

That's nothin', my right hand says I am and my left hand says I'm not.

“I apparently have the “homosexual finger length indicator” going.”

Me too. My theory says this ‘scientific’ study is laughable.

So, for the benefit of those who want to, say, abort Down syndrome unborn children, does the argument exist to spare the poor unborn child the awful possibility of being a persecuted/demonized/fillinvictimized lesbian?

I say “no”, but then again, I’m just another one of those deplorables who object to the left’s eugenics program.

A better way to measure ring finger length would be with a radiograph or some other form of imaging of the bones.

Wow. Amazing sample size of 18.

This particular study isn't very convincing, but there's no doubt in my mind that homosexuals of both sexes have very different physiologies on average. Take a look at the typical bull dyke and try telling me that there aren't high doses of testosterone there or that some of the body proportions (hip/shoulder ratios) aren't more like a man's.

Hmmmm... If they were ‘identical’ twins they would be identical, wouldn’t they?

Junk science. Like reading the lines in a hand to tell the future, or looking at earlobes to determine criminality.

Gosh and all this time I thought your sexuality was determined by whether you were born with a penis or a vagina. Who knew?

See my tagline for my agreement with your statement.

Genetically, but not physically.

Cats can be ‘identical’ genetically, but look totally different. The reason is their fur pattern is developed in the womb and is different in each cat..........

Most homosexuals were sexually molested as children.

They seek to normalize their behavior to achieve easier access to MOLEST YOUR CHILDREN!

>http://www.patheos.com/blogs/warrenthrockmorton/2009/06/05/a-major-study-of-child-abuse-and-homosexuality-revisited/<

On page 37, the other relevant result relates to men.

The 13th research question addressed, of homosexual men who have been molested, what percentage were molested before self-identification as homosexual men, and what percentage were molested after self-identification as homosexual? Of homosexual men who were molested, 68% were molested before self-identification as homosexual, and 32% were molested after self-identification as homosexual.

Ahhh. So ‘identical’ does not mean identical. I guess is depends on what the meaning of ‘is’ is.

I’ll bet the won’t, either.

I have that finger length thing too.

I’ve never in my life had a moment’s doubt about my identity nor spent a second being “curious.”

I haven’t compared hands or finger length with any relatives but I’m willing to bet that finger length may be one of those things that can run in families. I do know that all of us have a second toe that is longer than our big toes.

I think this is a big bunch of nothing, probably designed to “reinforce” the notion that people are born gay.

Very true. Statistically, nothing at all.

Of course, people who “report” things like this in the media know less than nothing about statistics.

Nonsense. That’s just a back door way of saying that sexual orientation is in the genes. It’s not.
