One definition of womanly I've read is: "Becoming a woman, feminine in a praiseworthy sense." When en femme do you feel you are womanly according to this definition? Why or why not?

Kate, I would have to think about this one.
When I was young I got praised, I was told I was beautiful, gorgeous and a whole lot of other expletives.
These days the rot has set in I am afraid.
Womanly does seem like a senior moment although I haven't been a hot chick for years.... Sigh!

I think that the best thing about being a senior TG lady is that we can get away with a lot and be elegant at the same time. It's kind of a "state of being" in a lot of ways as Noeleena said.

Whenever I am en femme I definitely feel "womanly", at least by my definition. I try my best to act like a lady, as well.

I don't know about womanly, but I definitely feel feminine when I am dressed.
I feel womanly when dressed and have tried to act womanly too. There is the problem I am a dreadful actor. I just tend to act the same in guy or girl mode. I never leave the house so a knuckle dragging bloke in a dress does not bother the outside world. But I think it will be amusing to watch.
When I am in girl mode I become a woman I almost forget I am a man. It is almost like flicking a switch in my head.

It seems to be relatively easy for those of us who have been doing it for years.

Womanly? I don't know. I've never been a woman so I have no idea how it feels to be a woman. I just dress in women's clothes.

Most women don't know either Jodi. It's mostly an intrinsic feeling.

My feeling is that I am womanly, but maybe I'm not the best person to ask, I am so biased about bbeing "ArleneRaquel" the pink fog may have overtaken me entirely.

Womanly? Probably, but definitely always feminine, and proud of it!!! As we are all individuals, it is best IMO to always be comfortable and confident in whatever we wear and do!
Womanly not necessarily, In guy mode I'm slightly feminine. I'm slightly punk like skinny jeans and tight shirts but feel complete. In girl mode I'm more 20 to 30 year old-ish girly stylish and pretty. Don't get me wrong I feel feminine and complete in girl mode but not necessarily womanly. It's hard to explain I hope that makes sense.
When out dressed I act like a lady and expect to be treated as such. The more I dress, the more I forget that I am a man in a dress. So I guess that is "womanly"

I like that, it's the way I've evolved too. I'd hazard an opinion that "womanly" is the sort of thing one gets with the plumbing and socialization GGs get; more of an acquired thing. "Femme" works for me, at least around English speaking folks. (I think "sissy" means about the same to CDs as "*******" offfends TSs.)Originally Posted by rayne75
A voice trainer, Melanie Phillips, mentions on her instruction CD that a lot of femme presentation is cooperative, multitonal, and uses a completely different vocabulary than the masculine baseline. Then there's the breathing thing; male types have bigger lungs and can chatter on for longer at a stretch.

I feel very womanly, meaning that I care about my family, feel fullfilled cleaning the house and cooking for my spouse. My style of dress is not sexy but feminine. I think age has matured me as a woman just like it has as a man.
Somtimes the light's all shining on me, Other times I can barely see.
Lately it's occured to me.....What a long strange trip it has been.

I'm not really sure. As a guy, I'm pretty much of a jerk. Can females be jerks, Kate?
U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.
Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!
I can be a jerk, but I'd rather be a jerk wearing lipstick.

Try to be as much as possible. Even in guy mode, when alone act enfem. Just love being a girl.

I'll second that. You remind me of one of my favorite ladies- Emmylou Harris-Celeste
Oh, my gosh, yes! I think I act like a woman almost all the time; When in drab (at work), I have to consciously think to act like a man. I have developed many feminine attributes that have become normal behavior for me. I still have more to work on.

Be nice; It don't cost nothing.
I believe there's a woman in each one of us. Each one of us allows or doesn't allow her to come out depending on our lifes' situation. In my case Im happy that she's coming out because she's my "peace".
