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/

Casually feminine 68%.

ShinyFootball · 28/06/2020 19:36

Oh lol plus 17 =/= 100 Grin

Gingernaut · 28/06/2020 19:40

22% Male and 25% Female.

I'm Undifferentiated-Androgynous

I'm casually masculine. Does this mean I get to choose to wear male clothes and female clothes depending on how I feel in the morning? I need to know because I was going to wear trousers every day and will need time to find my fishnets, stillettos and short skirts.

78% masculine and 61% feminine. Seems the quiz maker is not very good at maths. They must have a pink brain.

Stripesgalore · 28/06/2020 19:44

I’m not sure why this test is getting such a hard time.

It’s an internet quiz measuring concepts of masculinity and femininity - gender roles that every feminist agrees exist. It isn’t saying that makes you a different sex.

They don’t add up to 100% because masculinity and femininity are not a spectrum. Some people are very masculine and feminine at the same time and some are not very much of either.

My2catsarefab · 28/06/2020 19:45

After originally coming out as 97% masculine and 89% feminine, making me "undifferentiated androgynous" I just retook the test and clicked on the double thumbs up for every trait that would be stereotypically perceived as masculine & double thumbs down on every trait that would be stereotypically perceived as feminine and guess what....

Apparently I'm 42% masculine and 31% feminine which makes me undifferentiated androgynous.

Not quite sure how I came out low on both of them.

PastMyBestBeforeDate · 28/06/2020 20:17

Casually masculine. I do dress like a man in casual clothes, perhaps that's what that means...

Destroyedpeople · 28/06/2020 20:18

@Stripesgalore..... such a test could be interesting but the questions in this one are stupid.

TeiTetua · 28/06/2020 20:21

How can I be 75% feminine and 36% masculine...

That’s 111%

Ah, that answer is given as a trick question. Raise an objection and they say "Thinks mathematically, queries authority--extra masculine points".

Miriel · 28/06/2020 20:23

36% masculine and 31% feminine, so another undifferentiated androgynous. The other 33% is a mystery, it seems.

Can I use this as proof to certain people that I really don't have a gender identity? Grin

averylongtimeago · 28/06/2020 20:25

I got 61% masculine and 61% feminine which makes me androgynous apparently.
It sure what to make of that, other than that it's a load of bollocks

Stripesgalore · 28/06/2020 20:26

Destroyedpeople, Well yes, that is the nature of internet quizzes. It is like internet IQ tests. They are not going to work out your real IQ test.

But the people on here who can’t understand basic maths...

If you did a test and half the questions were on your ability to read French and half on your ability to read Spanish, you might get a score for 65% French ability and 92% Spanish ability. It isn’t supposed to add up to 100%.

Bananabixfloof · 28/06/2020 20:30

Stripes, have you heard of fun?

NearlyGranny · 28/06/2020 20:33

Casually masculine here, too, 72%.

What the heck does "casually masculine" even mean? Should I try to grow some designer stubble? Do my 3 adult children need to be told about my gender status? Should I buy some chinos?

Stripesgalore · 28/06/2020 20:36

Banana, I don’t understand why it is funny that feminists don’t know what masculine and feminine mean.

Not sure what I am missing here.

Livpool · 28/06/2020 20:37

I'm a REAL girl 🤣🤣🤣

Then I don't think I can help you understand 🤷‍♀️
Destroyedpeople · 28/06/2020 20:40

Ooh stripes ...bad 'feminists'!

ShinyFootball · 28/06/2020 20:41

Stripes so you are saying that a person could be 100% feminine and also 100% masculine???

TorkTorkBam · 28/06/2020 20:41

Am I in the wrong body?

To be fair I have felt it was really quite wrong ever since my third baby was born. Baby 3 was accidentally conceived far too soon after the birth of baby 2.

Still, third-baby-making afternoon was a bloody good afternoon. Nobody was confused over whose bits went where.

Top tip for younger ladies: Don't rely on breastfeeding as contraception, nor of being, ahem, mature age for having babies along with lack of restarting regular menstruation meaning you are not currently fertile.

prolefeed · 28/06/2020 20:47

I’m typically masculine. Mmhmm.

Football, yes it is based on the BEM sex role inventory. Psychologists claim that some people score highly on both.

The notion that masculinity and femininity are on a spectrum is from transgenderism, not psychology.

Basic info on the test is here, although the internet version people have completed did give a reference list at the end.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bem_Sex-Role_Inventory

When Daphna Joel did her research into there being no such thing as male brain or female brain Physically she started by pointing out that in psychology there is no correlation between feminine and masculine traits. You can be high or low in both, or a mixture.
