Women have had gender optional clothing for years and seeing a woman sans makeup in jeans a tee is common and unnoticeable. I am fully supportive of the same for men 💯. A skirt and lipstick should...
I have read and reread this post as it really spurred thought. And I think for myself I have always been a woman so it is not that I want to be one I am one. But years of coping skills have rendered...
🤷🏽*♂️ I do not know much except no matter how you word a thing on an Internet forum it will not please someone. I accept this and sometimes make my case and others not. I used the term I thought up...
I would never unpack my bags to any man. Too many helped pack them in the first place that I would NEVER trust some male with my mind and emotions.
Been to a therapist I do like but we both agree that I should not begin to unpack until our lives settle down from some recent adjustments. When we do she wants two days a week. And as soon as I can...
The responses really highlight how individual each ones experience is. I have always wished to dress ?pretty? but in my youth sexualized and/or hyper emasculated my dressing as it eased dysphoria....
I would not over analyze it and take it in the best light. We get enough internal chatter about being different. Even if for perhaps not the most positive reasons she smiled, she did smile and you...
When I first started dressing fully at fourteen I only had access to mothers work outfits. 1970?s miniskirts and tall boots. And that seventies makeup style. I would go all out and nearly drag makeup...
I guess it boils down for me that male group dynamics are just not comfortable but female group dynamics feels natural. And the true bottom line for me is I like kind warm loving people and have...
I see more simple honesty about how some feel about masculinity and how it is expressed in a patriarchal society. Not much ?bashing? just recognizing why it is not a fit for a femme and how it plays...
I reread my post and I was too adamant about ?hating?. I try to not hate and I really do not ?hate? men but rather dislike intensely certain behaviors that many men have. Behaviors I either lack or...
I feel the same and it has gone hand in hand with having a femme side since childhood. I preferred playing with the girls. I never have really liked men since a child even before I was sexually...
those moments of acceptance are so warming and welcome. The least kind word, a minor compliment, simply being non-judgmentally polite in daily situations. they are the carrot that makes me work...
thank you and Kimdl93. our Samhain was a renewal and a commitment to each others "bucket lists" of what we put on hold when the kids came unexpectedly. She is becoming a power woman in her field and...
it was a land mark as we decided that I am not changing back to drab except for certain occasions otherwise the middle aged woman I was yesterday is the middle aged woman I will be today and every...
I loooove thrifting especially in the valley. gorgeous clothes barely worn make up my wardrobe.Never a side eye or rude clerk in Eugene thrift shops. Now the mall...GRRRR! I went all quantumbitch on...
I really try not to think about anything but feeling beautiful when out and about.I find I wear my angst on my face and it destroys the moment of feeling fully femme. Today I ran into the beauty...
I dislike labels. I was caught dressing in the early seventies and was labeled horrible things like deviant and sexually perverse for desiring to present as femme. this was accompanied by threats of...
At this point in life all I am is me and how I present is as much mood as anything. most days I like the rituals of makeup and picking outfits other days I am content in jeans and tee. All are who I...
I use an old family name. Mariabella was a great grandmother and an aunt. I chose it as I always looked to these women as a child Abuela Maria and Aunty Bella are women I want to emulate, especially...
