I can understand how many can feel feminine, when dressed in frocks and frills, it's kind of a no brainer. If you are attired in feminine finery, with make up, nail varnish, and a wig full of locks and curls, then yes, you will feel feminine.
But there is a difference between feeling feminine, and "feeling like a woman".
Ignoring the physiological issues such as periods or pregnancy, and focusing on attitudes, state of mind, and behaviours, lets discuss.
For those who venture out dressed, how do you leave a well lit mall, to walk to your car? Do you scan the parking lot? Watch for wandering men? Scan the shadows to see who might be lurking? Clutch your purse? Have your keys in your hand?
Or do you saunter casually along, confident in your ability, as a MAN to deal with any issues?
Sometime last year, I was at a nightclub and ran out of cigarettes, "no big deal", I thought, I'll just walk down the block to a bodega and get another pack. When I got there, there were 5 or 6 guys out front, sitting, chatting and drinking. Inside the store, there were 10 or 12 guys watching a soccer game on the TV. Suddenly I felt very vulnerable, turned on my heels and went back to the club. The store was NOT a safe place for me, I felt.
Women, and Transwomen, have to be aware, at all times, of their surroundings, and the dangers that may be present. Transwomen face potential violence; GG's face that, and worse. So please, don't presume to "feel like a woman", until you've literally walked a mile in a woman's world.
