"ring/ index finger length, how does it link to sexual orientation? " It doesn't. The study which this, and other, myths relates to, was one which showed that people who were exposed to higher levels of prenatal testosterone tended to have ring fingers slightly longer than their index fingers. It's simply an interesting biological observation; it has NO bearing on sexual orientation, gender, or gender identity.

It more so references sexual dimorphism and effect of different distributions of prenatal hormones. Men typically have longer ring fingers and women typically have shorter ring fingers (the same length as the index finger). A few people may be the opposite, a man having shorter ring-fingers (the same length as the index finger) or a woman having a longer ring finger. Although there is a correlation between people who have hands like this and homosexuality, it doesn't necessarily mean people with hands like that are homosexual. The correlation between the two suggest that an individual most likely had a hormone in balance in-utero.

Men in general have shorter index fingers than rign fingers. Women have index fingers about the same length as their ring finger. A study found that gay men who have several older brothers have more significantly shorter index fingers than straight males and gay males with few or no older brother. The study found that lesbians, regardless of the number of brothers, tend to have shorter index fingers than ring fingers.
