By the title, I just mean woman/feminine. I understand a person can be masculine as a woman, just as a man can be feminine. And feminine and masculine people can be attracted to any variation of gender/sex on the spectrum, or none at all.
What characteristics of psychology do you consider as correlating a person as a woman (masculine or feminine) versus a feminine male?
------------------
My opinion, I think on average a woman would put up with more "bull" than a man would, transgender, lesbian, and cisgender alike. It's acceptance but with a bitter end. A man would quit mid-way or speak his mind due to the brain chemistry. That's why women in a classroom would agree with a male even if he's absolutely wrong to keep peace. *That's just one example; not exactly feminine either*

To use psychology terms -
I would say women are usually more "agreeable" than men, they tend to make more friendly/less dominating gestures and overtures in their communication and the language they use; they do tend to prefer 'keeping peace', however I see more two-facedness from women than men, more 'score-keeping' from women, and being more verbally critical of others. As you say men may speak their minds openly with or without consideration of the consequences - women will still do it, but less openly. Being agreeable can mean prioritizing a group consensus, or a collective view, one which may not necessarily be the best but the one that creates less apparent friction.
I would say men are often more conscientious when it comes to their jobs on the whole compared to the women I've known - also prioritizing work and "doing a good job" over life seems more a male trait, and females seem to care more about their work/life balance and personal comfort. This could have something to do with the fact men's value in society is often attached to what he does for a living or how good he is at it, whereas women's value and how much society cares about a woman isn't so tied to what she does for a living. Or might be that society does tend to rely on men to get certain things done, and women to get certain other things done. Or that biologically, a woman thinking of herself/safety/comfort over a job carries an obvious evolutionary payoff (health behaviors). To add to that I think a woman is far more likely to be concerned about personal safety and her own health.
I would say women tend to display more/overt neuroticism than men (as in the psychology definition). That is, worrying, anxiety, fear, envy, depression, etc. Even if men experience it, they definitely display it less. A result of a combination of cultural pressures and brain chemistry probably.
Women on average tend to be more verbal more often, and seek out company of others more I would say, particularly other women. Women really do seem to take more pleasure in conversing, from what I've seen, and even just the act of talking seems to help them deal with some of the aspects of neuroticism better than it often does for men. I think women usually have a preference for the company of other women, that they tend to view other women as automatically having some intrinsic understanding of their situation and experience as women, and being 'on side' compared to men, and to have a preference and support for women as a group that men do not typically have for "other men". Women tend to be more tactile with each other, too, and I guess it's been shown in studies that women have more sensitivity to the feel of things.
I know one or two 'feminine males' who even though they may appear androgynous and have more female friends than male ones, or "get on better with women", still seem to lack the level of psychology-term neuroticism, still tend to prioritize tasks and achievements over comfort, still tend to be less verbal etc. etc.
