Exactly!!! I love being a girl and I feel so so feminine, some things enhance the feeling for me personally (clothes and makeup can) but that ≠ these things are the only way someone can be feminine / express femininity. It’s so subjective to the individual and that’s why I hate the like weird transphobic question ppl would ask about “well then what makes a woman a woman” like its so subjective
true! i’m personally a woman who’s not very feminine (but i wouldn’t necessarily call myself masculine), and whenever these conversations start about what “womanhood” means, it’s all about hair, makeup/beauty, or fashion trends. it’s extremely alienating, for starters, but it’s also incredibly bizarre and insulting to imply a woman’s entire identity hedges on what she consumes instead of what she does, what she thinks, etc!
