Hi, I was just wondering if it is true that if a man turns the palms of his hands facing forward and along the side of his body that his arms will fall strait along his side, whereas a woman's arms curve out at a 30 degree angle. In an evolutionary sense this seems to make sense. Men were out hunting and killing animals, so they needed to be very very strong while women stayed behind and cared after the children.
I am especially curious about this because although I am a male, my arms seem to bend as if they were female, I know there are hormonal washes and stuff that wash over a fetus as they are developing and am just curious of what other people have to say. I think this could help explain why I was so passive as a kid, and was never able to relate to rough and tumble games, or enjoy many of the things that a normal boy takes for granted. I was a very passive and shy kid, and had absolutely no agression whatsoever. Did I miss a hormonal wash which gave me a more feminine temperment?
I am transgendered by the way, think what you think, but this was never a choice. I am just currious to see if there really is such a huge difference between male and female arms, and if it is abnormal for a mans arms to go out at a 30 degree angle when he puts his arms down, and women do have the same trait that I do, this could explain an awful lot. Although I am unsure at this point if I actually want to transition or not, I want to have some evidence to support my claim, like something tangible that would really help me put together the pieces of this bizarre puzzle. The most important thing for me to do at this stage is to put all this together. I am not a trap, and I am not out to shock potential dates, to be totally honest, this thing is so confusing I cannot even be sure if I am attracted to men or women. I have just been far too confused and have avoided people for so long that it would be impossible for me to know that. I may never know. People seem to be so stigmatized about anything to do with this condition that I honestly believe I may never date. The truth is this has very very little to do with sex, it has to do with my identity as a human being, and If I can know that it is abnormal for men to have arms like mine it explains a lot. It would also explain why I was never good at sports, and always threw a ball like a girl, and cannot lift anything over 40 or 50 pounds even though I am still presenting as male.
