Sitting like a "lady"!

[Pebblez]

chose crossed at knee...this was also one of the first things my therapist wanted me to try. idk why

[Just Shelly]

I have always sat with my legs crossed.....even before I was a woman. In fact I can't sit comfortably without doing it. What's really strange is I can't sit down and eat unless my legs are crossed. I never thought this was an over feminine thing, and I do see some men that do....but it now does appear a little feminine when I see them.

The one thing that has changed dramatically is how I stand. I don't think I ever stood very manly  before (can't recall) but now if standing in place for more than 30 seconds, I will inadvertently cross my legs or put one in front of the other.

Another thing I do at times but not sure why, is double cross my legs. This isn't something I see too often....probably cause most people can't, but I do see some women doing it at times. Lets see how many here can do it?

I'm surprised no one else has mentioned the other half of sitting like a lady...posture.  Most of the time women don't lean back all the way in the chair and settle in like guys do.  They tend to sit with their butt against the back of the chair and keep their back straight up...often not touching the back of the chair at all.  It's not 100% of the time, but pretty close.  I noticed this a couple years ago, and since then I've noticed that most do sit this way.

Someone mentioned legs crossed while eating, and I've noticed a lot of women do that in restaurants.  I've tried, but it's hard to cross my legs under the table.

I had actually adjusted my car seat when I decided I would transition so I could get more use to sitting in this position(used to have leaned back one handed now upright with 2 hands) it is also advice my therapist gave me

ofcourse not all girls are alike but I heard most girls do sit with the posture you spoke of

How to sit like a woman: A beginners guide.

Are you female and identify as being a woman? Are you sat down? Congratulations you are now sat down like a woman.

Awesome!  I always crossed at the ankles anyway with knees together.  My wife (cis) is usually splayed wide open.

I've done the same thing in the car.  It's hard to remember to keep both hands on the wheel...but most women do.

And now that I've mentioned the posture thing, you'll see it everywhere.

I was sitting watching television the other night crossed at the knee and my daughter said, Dad your sitting like a woman. I better watch myself in the future, not out as yet. I find it comfy to sit this way, must be a natural.

I pretty much sit with my leg crossed at the same angle, except the crossed leg then wraps around the back of my vertical leg and my foot locks it into place. (So my legs are crossed but my feet are parallel again)  not sure it that's a feminine way to sit or just odd lol.

Exactly like that.

Or standing like a lady,

This is how I have always stood while waiting in line or just hanging around,

[Hideyoshi]

I usually sit knees together, ankles apart, toes pointing towards each other.

Sometimes I cross my legs though, depending if my tuck is sore or not

Wow... I'd never be able to do that with my legs.

[Riley Skye]

I don't because I'm no lady....though I wear skirts a lot lmao

Seriously? This is a lady thing? I've been doing this for as long as I remember. In fact it's how I'm sitting right now.

Yeah. To comment on the posture thing too, I sit so straight and arch my back so much that while driving I have to tilt the seat back so it leans TOWARDS me it I want it to make contact. Friends always complain when they get into my seat in the car lol. I've always done it. I prefer sitting in a stool than a chair because I don't use the backrest anyway.

I still cross my legs even on the stool, but one foot usually locks around the stool leg to keep me from falling off.
