 good question
to me sweetheart the most feminine feelings I got are honestly with my eyes closed knowing who I am in my head.
I do admit I love the feel of my smooth clothing feel of the makeup on my skin scent of slight perfume but after doing this for many decades and finally kind of coming out of the closet
To me the most feminine feelings come from within and not the Cosmetic fluff on the exterior. Self-acceptance knowing you are female in your head overcome the physical
Be proud of your uniqueness and present yourself with your head held high no matter if you pass or not it really doesn't matter.

All the best for your journey love Tatiana

It has to be my voice for me, it's like the only thing even remotely feminine about me right now.  :'(

Some things that I do enjoy, though...

1- Sassing randomly at no one
2- Walking
3- Being tucked
4- and yes, I, too, enjoy putting on my nail polish

But I can only put on clear nail polish, and since wife got suspicious, I had to clip my beautiful nails. I tried filing them(had a pro do it the first time) and really god awful results, so now I'm very upset about the whole ordeal.
Looking to make and keep friends! Spreading the love, now that I can truly love myself!

Yes, I enjoy skirts, nails, etc. But the biggest thing that gets me every time is being included in random conversations with cis women. Talking about kids, the way we are treated by the men around us, just life stuff is so validating and affirming for me.

Hello Becky

I have to agree with Tatiana that the main factor is internal - my spirit my mind tells me I am feminine as I have always known that despite being born with the wrong body.

On the physical side, it is lipstick, female scent, wearing a bra and seeing the early benefits of HRT - a feeling of peace and softer skin.

I wish you the best on your journey.

Hugs

Pamela

Good question,

I am a real girly girl, so I am into things like makeup, nail polish, clothes and shoes. I spend way too much time grooming myself and all these things make me feel very feminine.

but the one thing that makes me feel really feminine.. when I am wearing a beautiful dress with heels to go out some where with my man, especially when its a long flowing dress...

I remember when I got married and I after I was all dolled up and I had my wedding dress on, I looked into the mirror and I remember thinking, I have never felt so feminine as I did now.
Enjoying ride the hormones are giving me... finally becoming the woman I always knew I was

I've noticed what makes me feel feminine has always been evolving. Before I started any hormones etc simply shaving my body hair (I was a gorilla) and painting my toe nails was a wonderful secret reminder. As I grew bolder in expressing myself my makeup, clothes and wig always did the trick, and even caught me some ma'ams. After time it all became common place, but my hair had grown and I got a pixi cut. I loved having my hair styled and it made me feel pretty and feminine all the time. Eventually laser made my beard light enough that simple foundation covered it up. I found that the longer I progressed along the journey, the more I became myself. Feeling feminine was no longer fueled by my makeup, or hair, or even clothes. I simply was feminine all the time. It took me several years to realize that being myself came from accepting myself.

Clothes.  I really like wearing skirts, and do so any chance I can.  Not so much dresses: getting a dress to fit a trans woman's body is difficult.  I have a couple that I'll wear in summer.  But even in slacks or skinny jeans, I just love being able to wear pretty clothes and some sparklies.

Socializing with other women.  I like being included in women's conversation.  Yesterday, a bunch at coffee were talking about babies, and I was included.  (I'm invited to a baby shower next month.  Squeeeee!)  It doesn't have to be a sit-down conversation.  Just chatting with a cashier or smiling as I pass a stranger is good.

My boobs.  Oh, they feel so good, and I love the way they look!  I even love the little ouchie pains that tell me they're still growing.

Large boobs for me. They have grown quite heavy and noticeable in recent months. I just love the soft, sensual aspect of breasts. So when I am naked (or near naked), I disappear into my full femininity. There are other things (scent, fat relocation, mental, etc.) but it all comes back to this one thing. I still have a ton of aching and pains, so they are still growing (which is a little scary).....

Clothes also.
I just love it when a warm breeze blows up my skirt making the hem flutter and tickle my legs.

I love nail color (all 20 of them).

I love the 'Second Glance' at the checkout.

I love it when someone notices, and is not afraid to comment.
I yam what I yam, and that's all what I yam.

Nails painted for me as well, smooth legs . Without saying nice clothes and makeup. I would like to say hair but have more in my arm pits than on my head so a nice wig works.

I am still presenting as male at work and around town but I have let my guard down - in the sense that I no longer try to control or hide my natural mannerisms. I occasionally catch myself holding my face in a certain way or moving my arms, wrist etc. in a more feminine fashion without thinking about it. Little things, but they are happy reminders.

I feel extremely feminine in a wig and a dress. I don't look the way I want yet (pre-HRT) but if I dress and look at myself in the mirror, I can see HER a little bit and it makes me super happy.

Your NEEDS drive your WANTS which drive your ACTIONS. To not take action is to not meet your needs.

I am like an archaeological excavation - being uncovered piece by piece, slowly...methodically... until all of the real ME stands proud in the light of day.

Well, my nails are always done and I love my hair. The only thing I actually like about my appearance really, I have always wanted long hair. 😊 Wasn't expecting the curls though, takes up a lot of length. I enjoy wearing dresses, slip them on and done. No matching the skirt to the top or the exhausting tugging to get my pants up and buttoned.

All of that is just me though, who I am. Things that make me happy.

Men make me feel feminine. The way they look at me or rush to do things for me. More than anything in my life, men make me feel like I am a girl.

Problem is it makes me realize my body does not match.

I could say hair, nails, lacy bras and underwear and being myself because they're all a part of it but I feel the most feminine after pampering myself all day in a serene spa then slipping into a LBD for an evening out with a special friend...
