Good God, yes. And what a killer line she had...

You mean...
Hudson :"Hey Vasquez, you ever been mistaken for a man?"
Vasquez: "No. Have you?"

[DMt.]

This exactly, yes.

Has anyone ever figured out what it is about the human face that helps us distinguish female from male, and then analyzed all of these people with those criteria in mind? There must be some scientific basis behind all of this, because it seems as though there is little disagreement that these examples are, in fact, androgynous.

I think alot of it is in the eyes.

Facial expression, and especially eyes, have a lot to do with it. In this video Andrej Pejic, who can look quite masculine or very feminine, does it mostly with facial expression. In this one he's been very feminine - coy and sweet. If he wants to look masculine he sticks his jaw forward a lot more.

With Dame Edna, all bets are off.

Yeah, definitely feminine, but still you can tell its a guy. The nose and side of face. The nose just seems like a mans nose, and when I saw the side of the face, I can just tell he has the ability to grow facial hair.
