This is doing the rounds on Facebook. If this is the sort of thing people use to decide they're 'in the wrong body', well, it might explain why TRAs have some problems with uppity wimmin. www.idrlabs.com/gender/

Did Meg-John Barker write this quiz?

@Bananabixfloof Squirrell? Banana? A tree?

News just in. I am human.

Insertdeadcatsnamehere · 29/06/2020 13:16

86% masculine. Which came as a bit of a surprise since I'm pregnant.

RatinaMaze · 29/06/2020 13:15

Undifferentiated Androgynous with 56% masculine and 44% feminine traits. I guess that means that if I were 25 years younger, I'd be non-binary.

TheGreatWave · 29/06/2020 12:54

I'm casually feminine, which is nice I suppose.

AhBallix · 29/06/2020 12:02

It's almost as if they picked a bunch of personality traits out of thin air and assigned a stereotype gender to each ... oh, hold on a minute.

What about kindness? Is that masculine or feminine?
What about reliability? Is that masculine or feminine?
Laziness?
Efficiency?
Conscientiousness?

If DP is more 'soothing'(eh?) than me - he isn'tGrin - is he more feminine than me?

Load of cobblers.

megletthesecond · 29/06/2020 11:41

Casually masculine here.
It's all bollocks isn't it.

IsadoraQuagmire · 29/06/2020 11:35

Absolute rubbish. I got 90% masculine and 3% feminine.
If they'd used different questions to stick people into a stereotypical mould that would probably be completely reversed. (I always wear pretty frocks, favourite colour is pink, love anything sparkly or frilly, have very long hair and would loathe to be male)
Just shows you how ridiculous the whole thing is...

"avoids cursing" Grin Grin

Hollowgast · 29/06/2020 11:25

That's interesting. Turns out I'm casually feminine, so this means that me and my wife are lesbians. I wonder what she'll say when I tell her?

HelloPanda98 · 29/06/2020 04:42

According to this I got mostly feminine with a small amount of masculine traits. Which is accurate for me.

AhBallix · 29/06/2020 04:36

Undifferentiated androgynous.

I only like my own children (well, most of the time). So, is that a masculine or feminine trait?

No idea if I'm tender. How the hell do you answer that? Must ask DP to bite a chunk out of my thigh. I suspect I'm tough as old boots!

PerspicaciaTick · 29/06/2020 03:29

I am Undifferentiated-Androgynous. I said I was genderfree!

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 29/06/2020 03:21

On the traits, the ones that I answered strongly positive on that they'd have been picking up on as "masculine" were all to do with confidence and assertiveness. No wonder so many girls going through the "you can't tell me what to do!" stage of adolescence have been convinced that they need testosterone and a mastectomy.

AllTheWhoresOfMalta · 29/06/2020 03:20

Another masculine result for these ovaries.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 29/06/2020 03:18

Apparently I'm 130% of a person. Is this meant to be a way to suggest that women need to go on a diet? A personality diet, perhaps?

47 M and 50 F. I am Undifferentiated-Androgynous 🤔

Ritascornershop · 29/06/2020 02:19

I am over 80% feminine with the remainder being masculine - based solely on the swearing I assume.

2bazookas · 29/06/2020 01:47

I scored average masculine, above average feminine, and overall "Undifferentiated-Androgynous."

LonginesPrime · 29/06/2020 01:43

currently we live in a world of gender stereotypes that influence how people behave. Many people are working to change that.

Yes, by changing the word 'influence' to 'control'.

It's very important to make sure women know their limits and don't speak out of turn.

NotYourCisterinAus · 29/06/2020 01:43

So it looks like I'm 47% masculine, and 17% feminine. What I'd like to know is what is the other 36% of me?

teaflake · 29/06/2020 01:43

I am 97% masculine and 0% female. Apparently I am extremely masculine.

I'm female.

MusicianTom · 29/06/2020 01:35

I took the test again and tried to answer to match all the worst female stereotypes - soothing - double thumbs up, assertive - double thumbs down, etc etc.

And waddya know? I'm 100% feminine, 0% masculine. What a load of old twaddle.

ShinyFootball · 29/06/2020 01:32

Agree.
