    For science, let's find out if finger ratios are correlated to sexuality!

    I don't know how this works for trans*/genderqueer individuals, so I'm going by identities rather than assigned genders.

    Too nonbinary. But I'm biologically female, ace, and my ring finger is longer, if you really want to know.

    my two hands are different. It's only the right hand that matters theoretically, right?

    If so, then my vote is accurate. If they both matter, then my answers are different! (Could I be more bi?)

    On my right hand, my index/ring fingers are the same length, however, on my left hand, my ring finger is longer than my index finger (right hand is dominant hand too if that makes a difference). I'm biologically female, though I identify as male and gay. I heard this thing about

    longer ring finger = more testosterone in the womb
    longer index finger = more estrogen in the womb

    I don't know if it necessarily connects to being LGBT though.

    On my left hand, my ring finger is longer, but on my right hand my index finger is a teeny bit longer. I just went with my right hand because it's my dominant hand, but I don't honestly think there's a correlation here.

    Edit: Looking closer, my hands almost look like they belong to 2 different people. I just held them up to each other, my right hand is significantly smaller and more feminine than my left hand. It's kinda weird...

    I heard about this recently! Pretty interesting. I read cis girl lesbians could be more likely to have shorter pointer fingers than ring fingers because they have higher levels of a certain hormone that straight men normally have a lot of that happens to affect finger length. Not that it's always going to be accurate but it's nonetheless really interesting. It's also interesting to see how it applies to people who aren't strictly gay/straight and cisgender.

    I'm female and most likely gay/bi and my ring finger is longer.

    No idea what my gender is, apart from not being a cis girl. However, my ring finger is longer on both hands.

    I chose "gay female with a longer ring finger(which applies to both of my hands in my case)"

    I'm also left handed too, so I fit this theory pretty well I think. :grin:

    According to the study I should probably be straight...... hummmmm... my fingers are pretty much exactly like the typical female diagram. On my right hand. But on my left my ring and index finger are exactly the same length...

    Not sure what to think of that :lol: Interesting though, thanks!!

    Weird. Most people have longer ring fingers. What does it mean?? maybe that this is completely arbitrary?
