While hair whorl is ocsnally ed to illtrate basic geics, gets more attentn bee some studi have suggted that unterclockwise whorls are more mon left-hand people than right-hand, and other studi have suggted that unterclockwise whorls are more mon gay men than straight men.

" However, two more rigoro studi did not fd a signifint difference between gay and straight men the proportn of unterclockwise whorls. (2010) separated gay and straight men based on a qutnnaire, not which beach they went to, and termed their whorl type based on close examatn, not om a distance.

THE SCIENCE OF GAYDAR

In both studi, the observer termed whether the whorl was clockwise or unterclockwise whout knowg whether the subject was gay or straight, which may be an important difference between the studi and that of Klar (2004).

Per Outsports, Maxen is the “first publicly out male ach a major Amerin men’s pro sports league, ” wh WNBA ach Curt Miller, who publicly me out to the media as gay 2015, also a publicly out male ach an Amerin profsnal sports league. I know this om strangers who fd gay people offensive enough to elic a remark—tlls om b wdows, to e a recent example—as well as om untls sual social engagements which people easily assume my orientatn, no sensive gaydar necsary. I once placed a personal ad which I scribed myself as “gay-actg/gay-appearg, ” partly as a jab at my peers who prefer to be thought of as “str8” but mostly bee ’s jt who I am.

Maybe a better way to phrase would have been “third-sexer, ” the tegory advanced by the gay German sexologist Magn Hirschfeld 100 years ago.

That’s what we mean by gaydar—not the skill of the viewer so much as the telltale signs most gay people project, the set of tras that make unmistakably one. A small nstellatn of rearchers is specifilly analyzg the tras and characteristics that, though more pronounced some than others, not only make gay but also make appear gay. Statistilly, for stance, gay men and lbians have about a 50 percent greater chance of beg left-hand or ambixtro than straight men or women.

But some rearchers have noted that gay men are likely to have fger-length rats more le wh those of straight women, and a study of self-scribed “butch” lbians showed signifintly masculized rats. What is there Ruf Wawright’s “unhibed, yearng, ugly-ducklg voice, ” as the Los Angel Tim wrote a few weeks ago, that we regnize as uniquely gay?

“The are all part and parcel of the ia that beg gay is different—that we are different animals to some extent, ” says Simon LeVay, the Brish-born nroscientist who has dited himself to studyg the issu. Richard Lippa, a psychologist om California State Universy at Fullerton, is one of the leadg taloguers of the many ways which gay people are different.

A GAY TWIST OF HAIR, MAYBE

I ught up wh him a few weeks ago at a booth at the Long Beach Pri Ftival Southern California, where he was rearchg another hypothis—that the hair-whorl patterns on gay heads are more likely to go unterclockwise. Acrdg to this rearch, for stance, gay men, like straight women, have an creased nsy of fgerprt ridg on the thumb and the pkie of the left hand; and overall their arms, legs, and hands are smaller relative to stature (among wh but not blacks). One volv mentally rotatg a 3-D object, somethg mal tend to do better than femal—except gay men sre more like straight women and lbians functn more like straight men.

From the fdgs, might be temptg to nclu that lbians are universally masculized and gay men are somehow femized—the classic “versn mol” of homosexualy advanced by Frd. The stereotyp—that lbians tend to m to relatnships early and have ltle tert sual sex; that gay men have more sexual partners than their unterparts—turn out to be te.

The measurements, should be noted, were self-reported and perhaps volve reportg bias, but no one has done a study vtigatg whether gay men are more prone to exaggeratg their assets, so, well, draw your own nclns. Instead of picturg genr and orientatn along a le, wh straight men and women on eher end and gay people the middle, he suggts, a matrix might be a more accurate way to map the possibili.
