My ring/index finger ratio is masculine whereas supposedly for transwomen it is more feminine, so prenatal testosterone levels has nothing to do with what led me here.

Hi Josephine,

Finger Length Ratios in Serbian Transsexuals

The etiology of transsexualism is not yet clarified. Many hypothesis exist and this study shown some more data in examining some indirect parameters of early androgen exposure of the sexual dimorphic brain region and changes of finger length ratio.

The present data suggest an early organizational effect of sex hormones through the association between body shape and finger length patterns. Also, these data draw attention to difficulties in the interpretation of results when somatic features are employed as biological markers.

Transsexualism in humans is biological in origin. Our findings support a biological etiology of MFT implicating decreased prenatal androgen exposure in MFT. 2D : 4D could be potentially used as a marker for prenatal androgen exposure.

Finger length is a potential marker, not a definitive sign of transsexualism. It is not meant to be used for a diagnosis.

Samantha post above is the best advise.
