For me its wearing a bra. And I cant wait for hrt to make me smell more like a woman.

Having breasts. Thats the part that makes me feel the most feminine.

First it was just lipstick.

Then it was all female clothes especially a bra.

Now that I have started HRT, I am hoping for breasts and curves. To me these are what really matter.

HRT, though I can't really say I feel all that feminine. Whatever, I like it.

For me doing anything or talking about anything feminine with other girls.

These days, almost everything makes me feel feminine.  My posture is still a bit masculine, and my voice, though I'm working on both.

I believe this for me is being more readily admitting weaknesses, cluelessness, and being more vulnerable.

I feel feminine because I AM female.  It is innate and why I was so miserable trying to play the role of a guy.

I fully feel female now. I finally understand that THAT was what the "always feeling different" and not manly enough (no matter how much I was)  was this whole time. For me it's the bra right now that I guess when I wear it, it's s confirmation of my womanhood. It just feels right. Maybe these are just milestones for transition I don't  know. I think make up when I start trying to do it will be another. I'm impatient because I want it all now as most of us do but I think enjoying to journey will be fun as well.

For me it's not so much any one particular tangible thing or item really but it's more of a deep feeling within that makes me feel the most feminine 

The feeling that wells up is difficult to describe but it is inescapable, You can try to run but you can never hide from the feelings inside you

I've been out to myself less than a year, and I have had to present male a lot because of jobs I've held. I find that, the more I present female, the more my femininity comes out. I mentioned to my therapist recently that I can feel this huge basket of femininity welling up from inside and on the verge of emerging, erupting into my personality; and I simply can't wait. I think it has begun already.

Perhaps confidence is the key. More confidence means more freedom to express. What's difficult is, the stuff that's repressed is not automatically accessible; it has to feel safe -- if that makes sense -- before you can access it.

Mine's coming out like gangbusters, and I couldn't be more thrilled. 

Just being myself really:)

I think out of everything I feel most feminine around other people.

Peace and love and all that good stuff,

Happy at the changes to my skin, becoming more smoother and lack of body hair..

There's no one thing, yes most of the things mentioned are factors and when you put it all together I feel feminine. I also don't think I'm ever going to tire of presenting femme. Of course that's got to be influenced by all those decades of being told I couldn't and then not wanting to because of the bulge inevitably showing when attired in feminine clothing.

Best (anyone who knows me already guessed) is having sex, even with a guy, especially with a lesbian identified woman.

When I use the little mental voice in my head.. and refer to myself as "she" without thinking about it first. Or when I look in the mirror and don't find a man's face.

Girly clothes, hair, bling.

My brain, on the rare occasion I can truly let go. At those times, I feel like Cocinelle in my avatar. That's why she's there.

For me it's not clothing or makeup. It's having a relationship with a guy who only sees me as female and has only known me as a female.

When I wake up in the morning and take a shower, wash my hair, and shave my legs and then get out of the shower and look in the mirror !!!!   
Of course, for sure when I do my makeup, fix my hair and get dressed... (bra, panties, skirt, blouse, heels, etc)

***The biggest factors are my relationships with my family and friends that have stuck with me for the many years of my transition that see me and accept me as a female.

I'm right there with you.  As a guy, I would never act like this.  Being vulnerable and the reaction I get from others always makes me feel good.
