Hi Laurette.
My thoughts: It's in the little things, much born out of necessity and practicality. Eating a burger after cutting it, sipping drinks, eating off spoons upside down...all this because of makeup and lipstick and the right mess you would look if you didn't.
The list is endless...so I guess much that is feminine is a different way of having to act.
My inner monologue, is where I am changing me the most also the tone of that voice. Consider then react...men tend not too.
Research has shown men are just as good at multitasking as women...another of those urban myths. In practice a woman has to do lots of things at once, the demands are so high...so I doubt it is out of choice.
And ladies are pretty...and we like being pretty so we make the effort.

Great question. Being something so mercurial in being defined, I have no doubt there would be an endless array of answers. For me… I see this as my own personsl journey, so here it it goes: when I see a color that appeals to me because it’s pretty, that’s me. If a bra, panties, blouse, dress et at. make me feel sexy and looks pretty on me, that’s me. I’ve always felt female, and have come to accept and enjoy that aspect of my person. Anything that that makes this particular woman think “damn… I like how that looks” gets a seat on the femininity train, because like so many other things, it makes me feel good. And who doesn’t like that?
I'm trying as hard as I can to be myself...finally. I'm so far not able to do any transitioning, but I very much need to feel feminine and pretty. I prefer the tag girl over woman or lady. I have been reading any and every thing I can to get information. I've read to grow my hair..which I've already been doing for about 2yrs. Take good care of my hygiene and skin..which ive always done. Grow my nails and use polish...which I'm starting now. Work on posture and movements. What else can I do to make myself feel pretty until i can start hormones, keeping in mind that I've not come out yet? I'm still building my confidence. Thanks for any advice. 💋
