I was about to post a recollection of a halloween when I was young in the did anyone feminize you thread. Then I started thinking of the word it is a verb isn't it? aI am sure if you asked my mother about halloween 1977 or what ever year it was. She would chuckle and say "oh yeah it was so cute I dressed J up in a dress and made him up like a girl for halloween" I doubt the word Feminize would enter her brain.
The way I feel is I am feminine and the clothes I wear and the way I present myself are a reflection of the way I feel.
Nobody feminized me, nobody could feminize me and I certainly would wouldn't ask anyone to.
People have taught me things about makeup and other things but that isn't the same thing. And clothes and makeup don't make me or anybody else feminine .
I find the word a little offensive in most contexts I have seen it used. I have heard of facial feminization surgery and I get it as a title of a procedure.
Does anyone else feel like this?
