    I'm gonna expand on my last post on this thread...

    My body language is femenine enough that I think that some of my teachers at school seem to think I'm gay (mainly PE teachers...) and I have a hunch my dad also thinks I'm gay... Pfft.

    When I'm around people Im not out to I keep my body language in check and act at least a little masculine to not arose suspicion. When Im around people I'm out to my body language is naturally feminine.

    Hm... well, I don't use a lot of 'body language' for one thing. Or I do and I just don't realize it. It kinda irritates me when people use obvious body language. (Last year, in my rhetoric class, we were always told to use lots of body language because it looks natural, but for me it was totally unnatural and clumsy. It does not look natural at all, if you ask me. Sometimes I have literally stopped looking at people because their physical movements are distracting when I'm trying to listen to them.)

    I often sit with my legs crossed at the knees or ankles when sitting in a chair. It actually varies a lot though. I might sit with my feet on the chair, with my feet hanging down, with my legs propped up on something, or with one foot draped over the knee of the other leg. On the floor, I sit with my legs crossed, or with my feet behind me and the legs to the side of me (I don't know how better to describe the position and I can't find a picture of it). I definitely never kneel; it hurts my knees too much. I also can't seem to sit with my legs straight out in front of me, unless I'm leaning back. Overall, there's actually a surprising amount of variance in the way I sit.

    The way I walk is... normal? I don't notice anything special about it... Though it's quite possible there's something feminine or non-feminine about it that no one's ever pointed out to me.

    Apparently I have very weird facial expressions. People have made fun of me before simply because of my facial reactions. No idea whether they're feminine or not, but I'm guessing they're just weird and it has nothing to do with gender.

    Hmm..tough one.

    Facial expressions: Either blank slate or difficult to read. When I try and act friendly towards someone they think I'm being aggressive when I'm not, you wouldn't believe how many people I've annoyed with my facial expressions when I was just trying to be friendly. I wish I had like a mirror so I could see what I look like to them somehow, I don't know. Maybe I should just give up and wear a plastic bag over my head, that way I'd cause less fights. :grin: But I do have slightly rounder cheeks and I tend to blush easily, not from embarrassment, just generally. So um both masculine and feminine really but leaning to the more masculine side.

    Hand expressions: When I'm hyperactive, usually quite feminine. I tend to be quite expressive with my hands, particularly if the subject interests me. Although I do tend to put my hands in my pockets which is usually considered masculine.

    Walking- Definitely masculine, my posture's bad because I tend to slouch and look at the ground a lot, I've been told I drag my feet too much and that I walk too loudly.

    Other body language- A mix of both. I tend to cross my arms a lot and sit with my legs slightly apart (not too much though) with my hands um.. around that area. I tend to pull my hair slightly when I'm nervous or uncomfortable or just bored.

    How I feel- Androgynous but clearly female, definite feminine appearance. Although sometimes I feel like a feminine dude even though I identify as female. If that makes any sense. Might take up cross dressing when I'm older, I've just always been curious somehow about it.

    Can't tell... don't care. I'm trying to be me - I've embraced both my masculine and feminine features. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I'm just super awkward and that's it. :grin:

    I always thought my body language was more masculine but I'm not to sure because I've been asked a few times if I was gay, that could also be my voice, because some times my voice is well... not masculine and sometimes it is. I guess it just depends on my mood.

    Hmm, I'm somewhere in between, mannerisms leaning more towards feminine. I do tend to be neutral when it comes to my mannerisms, but I can be more feminine when the time calls for it. I'm not sure where it falls under, but I do curse like a sailor. It's the joke in my group that I eat like a princess (with a knife and fork, considering I usually use chopsticks) but curse the most in the entire class.

    Masculine for me. Until I snap in a Z-formation and go "bitch, I'm fabulous". Taught my boss to do that the other day; she's a natural.

    My personality is so bubblie that it makes the grumpy old hags around me explode in rage, so I am definitely on the fem side. Unless it's workout time, then I'm super cereal guys.

    I get the looks when I am not trying to be a strait male, mostly it is girls who pick up on the body language, and gay guys. My first time is when I was with my girlfriend driving, and IDK why she asked, but she asked me to show her how I look at my finger nails. Without thinking i spread my fingers open with the palm facing downward. She was shocked and said, "omg that is how girls do it" and I'm like IDK it's not like I was purposely doing it, that's why she asked spontaneously I guess, but yea I never knew that either. it became more and more point out the obvious with us, and today I would really need to concentrate on being male if I were not to get noticed,. because becoming comfortable in myself has leveled down so many fields of giving a hoot about the norm anymore.

    My mentality is more rational, left hemisphere that is usually associated to females, than instinctive, right one usually associated with males, but I got a really low male voice, a sort of beard (I'm 14 and I got beard ya), and I usually like to talk to males more because you can do pervert jokes you can't do with females ahahah.
    But actually I had a lot more females than males in my life so I don't know it's for that. By the way I think I'm more masculine.

    After seeing myself in some previous video projects we had, I can say that I am not that masculine nor feminine. I move and act awkwardly :lol:
