Reply To: What is ‘male femininity’?

[Anonymous]

Araminta,

Yes, I absolutely believe it’s a thing.  It’s the root of this spectrum we are often talking about.

How many of us, transitioning or not, have always felt that we were more than just the male we were raised?  That there’s always been this part of us that was the other gender?

How often did others see it in us growing up? Call us a girl? Call us gay?

We’re not gay, we love women (Cis-women), but we can’t escape wanting to be like them. So much so that we express ourselves with pretty things, or just love to adorn ourselves with them in private.

That’s our male femininity showing through.

 

Much love,

Raquel
