I have used this website on biomotion to perfect my female walking style.  Others may be interested in the key points that differentiate a female walk from a male walk.  On the sit you are able to select male or female, the gate, the feeling to get an impression on how each gender walks.

@barbz Hmmm...

I know very few males who walk the way depicted in the animation. I don't think that I could name one person. When I was young, we had a cottage which was near a farm and even the middle-aged son didn't walk like that. He took long enough strides that his body noticeably went up and down, like a trope.

Also, I was hoping that the animation would show the hip movement that I have seen only twice since I started watching the movements of women closely, recently. Only some women move their hips forward and back naturally. Most women hardly turn their hips at all, like males, as shown in this animation.

A few months ago I happened to follow a young woman wearing jeans, as she crossed a street. The way her hips moved forward and back on one side and copied it on the other was astonishing. I wish that I could find a video to show you how. The second time, I saw a woman walking like that was in a parking lot as I drove by. Even from that distance, it was clear that she had the exact same swing in her hips. When you see it, it will be very obvious to you, too.

I have tried to consciously do this, but it isn't natural to me and I don't know if I have the correct movement, but I try when I remember to do it. It may be the length of the stride that they had (many women that I notice take short strides) or heels of a certain height. It had nothing to do with a model's walk and crossing their feet, that's for sure. I don't know why, but it sure is different than how the majority of women move.

Swivel is the description that I searching for, starting at 4'26. Both women that I saw did the swivel better than what is shown here.

I naturally switch. My wife saw it before I knew I did it. When I change clothes, I cross my feet a bit, and sway my hips, ( or the wish of them) I started paying attention when she called me out, and yeah, just do.

Unfortunately most.of the femme walk is due to anatomy, and face it most of us are just not  built that way. We can fake it to a degree, but without the hips and butt we are never going to pull it off 100%.

...not that it isn't fun trying. We don't have most.of the attributes that we try and emulate, but with help we can do a good approximation at times. Mostly, I just don't care if I pull it off perfectly. I just enjoy being en femme even thoufh I am marginally passable. I know people know I sm.l a crossdresser when I.am.in public, and I am fine with that. It removes all.of the worry and stress and just allows me to be out and about.

ty for sharing this Barb. With just a little practice it does help. One needs to be conscious of swaying the hips with shoulders back and wrist facing out.

I have this older neighbour, when she walks she moves one hand back and forth as if she is conducting. I think it looks nice, very graceful.

I guess I can say that I am blessed, but was cursed when forced to live as a male. As JJ puts it, "without the hips and butt we are never going to pull it off." I was born as an intersex person, and when puberty set in, the hips and butt, along with thighs and boobs, came along for the ride.

When I was growing up and in school I had to endure being told by many that, "you walk just like a girl!" So today, living as a intersex trans woman, those physical attributes have proven to definitely be a blessing. When I'm wearing leggings or yoga pants I've received more than a few comments on how nice I can move, and look!

hugs,

Ms. Lauren M

ps. Girls, watch that video and pay attention to your arms, your hands, your feet, and stand tall with your shoulders back - no slouching!  Paying attention to those will make a very noticeable difference in how you walk.

I do know that our walks are kinda subjective, too. I consider myself queer, but genderfluid, maybe. I'm older and don't know all the new lingo. I'm male, but feel female, but not hard on myself for it. I do walk like a bro when I'm in Carhaarts and need to command a presence amongst monkey men. I sway my hips when I dress and relax. My wife doesn't do either. She doesn't, and I don't think many people, other than people like ourselves really think much about it. I didn't think about it. I don't know, I don't think anyone should affect something they don't feel natural with.

@siobhann Even when I'm in male attire, occasionally I make a motion, or step in a certain way that just feels so feminine.  If the situation permits, I will try to repeat it and commit to memory for the next opportunity for girl time.

It's the slouching and the lurching gait that is a giveaway, both of which I am trying to correct by taking videos of myself walking and I am improving. Heels help a lot but sometimes I wear trainers and have to concentrate more.

 

On a humorous side note, it is interesting to watch from behind horses and cows where you can see that horses walk like men and cows walk like women -- seriously, check it out.

I was surprised several years ago to learn one can look much more feminine by eliminating just a few male traits we have, when we walk, sit, get in & out of a vehicle, etc. 

There's always room for improvement, even though we may never achieve perfection.  If wearing a wig & dress brings you satisfaction, that's perfectly fine.  For me, I'm always striving to be more effeminate.

@catgurl YES!  It's amazing to me how much more feminine it feels just to remember the age old rule for a proper lady...keep the knees as close as possible in all those situations.

I love working on my walk.  Even when I can't dress I enjoy wearing heels around the house and working on my "runway walk"  Posture is everything, narrow gait, squeeze those thighs together girls and one foot in front of the other.  My wife and I are amateur ballroom dancers.  I highly recommend taking dance lessons, specifically Latin dances like Rumba or ChaCha.  Learning good ballroom dance posture was extremely helpful to me.

Hugs
