Having been directed to this test by someone who has come to mn to enlighten us all as to how we are all wrong to think "trans are in league with the devil" (wtf?!) and how "yes gender is not provable, but neither is God and we all believe he is real" (again wtf?!), I decided to have a go. Apparently it is used as part of the diagnostic procedure, though this person does seem to be posting from Amercia.

I will warn you, it is a truly awfully written and unbelievably biased piece of bullshit, featuring spelling mistakes, leading questions, and at one point the wrong "there"!! It didn't take too long though, and thanks to it I now know that I am a man. There are issues with some questions raised that can easily be 'answered' by my asd, so it's a tad biased there too.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else fancied having a go at it too...

You'd be very confused at a meet up

InfiniteCurve · 04/09/2016 13:02

I'm androgynous and a FTM cross dresser as well Grin
It does rather shed a whole new light on MN feminism knowing most posters are FTM cross dressers, or even FTM ,with 3 real, proper , bona fide, women mixed in!GrinGrinGrin

"[...] do not masturbate using the power tools. This will go horribly wrong for you".

Grin Confused Grin

Oh dear christ, Matilda, that made my night, haha.

RJnomore1 · 04/09/2016 12:28

Being a man would explain a lot, like my general lack of interest in housework.

MatildaOfTuscany · 04/09/2016 12:25

Welcome to the club, RJ.

Re. power tools, I do feel that the test should perhaps have a trigger warning and some advice - "remember, non-gendered people-ings and otherkins, it is okay to masturbate while fantasising about power tools, but do not masturbate using the power tools. This will go horribly wrong for you".

RJnomore1 · 04/09/2016 12:23

I would appear to be a man

power "Is it because we don't wank furiously at the mere thought of power tools or breastfeeding?"

this!!

ErrolTheDragon · 04/09/2016 01:06

Probably because we're all real human beings not gender stereotypes.

powershowerforanhour · 04/09/2016 01:04

Why are we all androgynous, do you think? Is it because we don't wank furiously at the mere thought of power tools or breastfeeding? How odd.

Lorelei76 · 03/09/2016 20:25

The hair thing threw me too
Also it thinks I'm a cross dresser because I wear trousers
Op this test is seriously used?

midcenturymodern · 03/09/2016 18:42

But it says I'm a special snowflake statistical minority
You're not suggesting the test is somehow flawed, are you?

ErrolTheDragon · 03/09/2016 17:47

Mid, sorry to burst your bubble but the majority on this thread are apparently a 'minority'Grin duh, normal 3 dimensional women who say stuff gender stereotypes and get on with our lives.

midcenturymodern · 03/09/2016 16:25

The hair question was weird.

I have short hair because it's easier to manage
I have long hair because I look better that way

I have short hair because I look amazing with short hair

I'm a 'statistical minority'

I don't have any mens clothes so what I'm crossdressing into I'm not sure.

This test is hilarious, and I'm pretty sure the man who originally typed it was doing so one-handed Hmm It's entirely American, outdated, MTT focused, and hilariously confirms autogynephilia as a definite thing, and makes me even less willing to have males who so clearly fetishise females' bodies in women's spaces.

I got:

S.A.G.E. Test Results
Your Raw Score is: -515, which indicates that overall you are Androgynous
Your appearance is Feminine
Your brain processes are mostly that of a Male person.
You appear to socialize in a masculine manner.
You believe you have mild conflicts about your gender identity.
You indicated your were born Female.

ANALYSIS:
Female to Male Transsexual in doubt about your ability to successfully transition.
NOTES:
[none]

And then out of curiosity, I went back and switched "female" sex to "male" to see what the test thought of that, and got:

So apparently I'm too masculine to be a woman, but were I a male I'd be too feminine to be a man. Clearly I just fail at gender Grin

olives106 · 02/09/2016 20:51

Apparently I'm androgynous in appearance and probably work as a drag act in a lesbian bar for kicks

tabulahrasa · 02/09/2016 18:38

"Has anyone actually got the answer that they are overall 'female'"

I make it two so far, could have missed one though...which seems awfy awfy low given that everyone on this thread seems to be biologically female and identify as being female.

It's almost as if those things asked about have nothing to do with being female...Hmm

Batteriesallgone · 02/09/2016 18:12

Huh. I'm a man. Who knew?

Flowerfae · 02/09/2016 18:01

Has anyone actually got the answer that they are overall 'female' or is that not allowed incase it offends someone? :P

Flowerfae · 02/09/2016 17:59

LOL .. load of rubbish .. I'm 99% sure this was written by a male with a unhealthy obsession with sex. Some questions are really sexist, others are just a load of rubbish... whoever wrote this obviously just doesn't have a clue.

Apparently I'm a female to male crossdresser (was unaware of this :P )

And surely the worst criminals are gangs of murderous rapists?!

Oh the bipolar question was really something, wasn't it...
Especially since no one is meant to take the test with any existing mh issues??

"Wired" more like the typical male or female brain.

Yup, neurobollocks.

I'm sure its not a real test, but that doesn't mean that people wont take it seriously

Lorelei76 · 02/09/2016 17:43

Also don't know what dressing like the opposite sex means tbh.

Lorelei76 · 02/09/2016 17:42

I got the androgynous female to male cross dresser
This test isn't actually used is it?
It just has bizarre ideas about biological sex meaning particular things.
