Androgyny at the Wedding

[sirhugs]

Combining two things that fascinate me- weddings and androgyny.

Sally is the bride's sister who lives across the country. Her plus one for the wedding is "Lee", her "roommate" who shows up wearing a very David Bowie look- oversized double breasted suit jacket with boxy shoulders, wide leg pants...

the groomsmen start betting which gender Lee is. Soon half the guests have guessed.

How do they find out?

"Soon half the guests have guessed"
Assuming there are only two genders to choose from, they could have tossed a coin to get this result

It's easy to tell by the hands. Biological males have their ring finger as the second-longest finger. Biological females have the index finger as the second longest.

Unless you can get a DNA sample, of course.

Hmm... In my mind, they are all correct as Lee is an actual hermaphrodite, but as for how they find out, that's gonna take some thinking.

This was a joke, right? I am a female, an hour glass shaped, not androgenous at all. My ring finger is the second largest.

Lol no. This is junk science. There are *very slight* differences between the averages for male and female populations, but the overlap between those populations is huge. You might as well toss a coin:

You have to look at the BACK of the hand, not the palm side. Then it is foolproof. Trust me.

My wife's hand disagrees with you. From any side.

Well, there is a story right there! I saw a few episodes of that on Jerry Springer over the years.

You sure "Lee" isn't 1990s Paula Poundstone?
