How is a woman/man supposed to dress? What in the apparel signifies that the person is a woman or a man? Does a specific type of hair length matter? Does facial hair signify gender?
While I was waiting for the elevator in the lobby, I noticed one of the elevator repairmen looked rather feminine. Despite the short hair, go-tee (sp?), and the baggy jeans, this dude sounded and had the ‘delicate’ facial features of a dudette. No joke. This dude’s face looked like a dudette—not a lot though but just enough. I was trying to look for the overt biological signs (the boobies) but couldn’t find them among his/her garb. Can you get hair plugs on your face?

Women should wear pink and boys should wear blue!

Kitty, it isn't that simple anymore. Men wear a lot more pink now.

I think Kitty was joking...
But there are intergendered people out there.

Just with regard to facial structure, there is a lot of research into what makes a face more "masculine" and what makes another more "feminine" and who tends to prefer which face types, etc. So, if you are genuinely interested, there are things you can read on that.
As for clothing, that obviously depends on culture, time period, etc.

I was thinking about whether or not the language you speak (and even the accent you have within that language) plays a role in facial development and structure.

Don't know but that does sound interesting.

I dont really see how that could be the case - like if me and my hypothetical identical twin were raised speaking different languages, her face would develop to be different from mine?

Well, I don't see what it would have to do with bone structure.
But I could see that it could/might/probably does make a difference in the muscles that you use to control your tongue and lips. When I was learning French, one of my teachers mentioned that American English speakers don't use their lips as much as French speakers. And it actually makes sense to me. I suspect it would be similar between other languages as well. I don't imagine that this would have a huge impact, though, on one's appearance, though.

it makes a huge difference in facial expression. watch someone speak french and then switch to english... they use totally different muscles. i was dating this french guy who spoke perfect english with no french accent and i felt like i was looking at someone different depending on what language he was speaking. it's very easy to smile while speaking english, but much more difficult when speaking french. i suppose this might have an impact on facial development, but i'm not sure.

Whatever happened to dressing in whatever you feel comfortable in, and not letting societal norms dictate the way you present yourself?
