Im part man too!!! I never liked anything girly, just cars and fishing and mechanics :s
BB what do you mean your 3rd finger is longer? I thought all 3rd fingers are longer than the index? I have big veins on the backs of my hands too. I get embarrassed when they get that way and hold them up so the blood runs back down ...
Apparently most straight women have index finger longer or equal to index, and men are more likely to have longer ring fingers. It reflects the levels of hormones you were exposed to in the womb so may have no bearing on what levels of hormones you actually produce, but it can indicate how you developped i.e:comparitively longer ring finger = morel ikely to favour left hemisphere thinking etc

The finger thing is in-utero androgen levels 
I have that too. How's the spearmint going btw? how long you been taking it?
Right, but I thought that was something you carried with you for the rest of your life...? At least that's the impression I got (in fact, there was a whole thread about it, if I'm not mistaken, on the predecessor to this forum).
I started taking it last week, so I'm not sure about it yet. I think it might be inducing my period to start earlier, because I think I have luteal swelling and tender breasts right now. I usually don't go into luteal so soon in my cycle. It's an improvement, as my cycles are sometimes unhealthily long!
I could be wrong but i think not, if it were enough to affect the endocrine system then you'd be born a boy, i think. i left my spearmint at uni and i'm so sad! i think i need to have my 4-monthly break from the pill and without it i'm gonna be a hormonal wreck haha

I was a regular tomboy when I was younger! But now I'm pretty girly. I like clothes and boys and cute things.
Apparently, women's index finger and third finger are supposed to be the same length. My veins actually go above my wrists!!!

It certainly feels like I was born a boy some days!
My only saving graces are I'm small and my face is girly.
So you never got a chance to start the spearmint?
Ella, I actually took 2 different levels of EFT one was Gary Craig's and the other is Robert smith... I'm also working on my 50 cases to move to the 3rd level and become an EFT practitioner. I use the faster EFT tapping technique by Robert Smith. Works better for me.
I just revisit old memories of someone calling me flat or how when I was chubbier i used to went to be skinny like the models and hated my boobs. I go back to that memory and I tap while saying "even though they said I'm flat, but I love and accept myself" after that I'd start saying positive things like I love my boobs and they're growing everyday, they're getting rounder and perkier. I just keep saying positive things while tapping but first unblock all the negative memories that are holding you back and start changing how you feel about them.

@BB, I too get acne but my testosterone levels are LOW. Testosterone is not always the culprit, it can also be androstenedione.
And my third finger is also much longer than my ring finger or index finger, I thought that is normal.

No I've been taking it since November I think? I've just decided I'm only going to take it in my breaks off the pill, though, to combat the androgen symptoms i get then.
I'm pretty girly too, but I'm defo a left-brainer :L there was this 'bbc sex id' online test thing we did for psychology in A-Level and me and my housemates did it...I got 'average male' as did all the girls, and the boys were all women except the one camp one who got 'androgynous' haha

Hmm, that's interesting. Now you've got me thinking.
Here's a link that explains the finger length thing a bit:

Okay, I see. That's clever.
LOL sounds like that test was a little backwards!
Sorry for taking over your thread, AA.
