It gives a whole new meaning to the phrase green with envy

[Guest My_Genesis]

I wonder if my face is red or green. lol

[Guest Drew]

haha, that's interesting....now i'm going to be really curious if my face is red or green

[Guest CharlieRose]

My synesthesia begs to differ.

[Guest silverpetals]

my skin colour begs to differ.

[Guest CharliTo]

this now motivated me to buy those green eyeshadows.

[Guest Dutchie]

Thanks MaryEllen!

@silverpetals: I don't know, how about violet?

I looked in the mirror, nope, no clue which one...

I had a look at the link in that article, which points to the original text with an example picture.

To be honest, I don't see the red/green, I only see the male/female features. (Lips, nose, eyes, lighting of cheeks...)

Can anyone pixelate a photo and show the red/green for me?

This was interesting to read this morning, glad I found it, thanks ME. The link to the article is still active today.

I do know my skin has changed with HRT, not sure if color is any different, but sure feels different now. Skin care has taken on a whole new meaning.

Yes, I'm amazed that the article is still active. It was so long ago that I don't even remember posting it.

A very interesting topic, regardless of it's age.

I'm a little disappointed though... I was all excited because I thought "MaryEllen posted a new topic!" and then come to find out it's over 3 years old.

It would be neat if there were a way to test this on a computer at home but I think I would be afraid of the results. I think I'll just stick to letting my brain identify my gender for me.

I noticed that after starting HRT, my skin everywhere grew thinner and almost opaquely transparent in some places. I was actually kinda concerned about my face getting TOO bluish, or greenish really, a few month back, but I gradually got used to it...

That there is a correlation between being 'gendered' as female and blue-green hues is a great relief for me, I though I was just gettin' a lil' 'green around the gills', as they say...

Cool-io...

This is GOOD news, even if it is three years old!

Love, Svenna

[Guest Zeda]

Haha, that is pretty interesting XD I fluctuate, so I wonder what that means XD

A very interesting topic, regardless of it's age.

There are some real gems buried in the forums, not all is new. For myself when I not reading the new posts I do like to go hunting for "buried treasure"

Enjoy

I'm definitely more green, and I'm not even on HRT yet, so.... But my grandma is Italian, so that might have something to do with it

[Guest Elizabeth K]

WOW - old post! I replied way back December 8, 2008 - TWO DAYS BEFORE STARTING HRT!

My skin tone changed when I got on the HRT - maybe it's hormonal. The redness went away - and I got really freckled.- HA!
