dont know if a topic like this was posted, if so o well
i myself am very femme i like typical *girl things*
anyone else femme?

I'm typically the opposite.

I'm not the most masculine bloke out there. I have little feminine traits and, I admit it, I'm a twink..
but I don't consider myself "femme" in any way either.

i never understood that, honestly.
no, i'm a man; i enjoy masculine things?
i believe everyone has both masculine and feminine traits, but i don't consider myself femme. repulsed at the thought, actually.



"i myself am very femme i like typical *girl things*"

and you call yourself a FTM?
makes no sense to me, but alright.

um, i dont need to be some overtly macho guy to valid that i am a guy
masculine does not neccesarilly equal man
im repulsed by the thought of manly, super macho guys

Yes, one can be femme and male; just look my avatar photo!  If you thought that was a woman, you're wrong.  It's Pete Burns.
I myself have long hair and prefer women's clothing to men's.  However, as I would prefer to be referred to with male pronouns and have a male body, I consider myself male.

Well, I'm not femme. But I like pretty things. I highlight my hair and wear mascara. Not sure if this is the result of my being raised female or not. (course not everyone raised female likes feminine things).
I was encouraged to like and do certain things I would've been steered away from had I been raised male.

Same thing... who knows if I would like combat video games as much if I was raised as a girl

I'm more comfortable about being femme now that I'm transitioning. As in, I feel right being a femme guy but not at all being a femme girl. Some of the most feminine people I know are men so, go figure, lol. To me, so much about femme and masculine behaviour I view as individual qualities without gendered attachment.

ETA: I'm also a member of the livejournal group femme_ftm

I'm just femme in the way I act. I am the stereotypical gay man, except I like girls too.

lol, exactly "stereotypical gay man" is what I'm usually read as nowadays... cept, I can't for the life of me do that effeminate lisp thingee -_- heh

feminine gay/bi guys are the hottest   

Do what you like, what makes you happy.  Don't worry about what others say or do.  They have their right to do as they will too.  I think that most of what people label 'fem' or 'macho' is just so much closed minded BS anyway.  Simple minds are easy to amuse I guess.

I actually think I got a little more fem once I accepted that I wasn't female.  And personally, I like femme guys way more than the super masculine.

He shoots he scores!! Exactly right Emoboi

I have female traits about just like most men do whether they choose to show them or not is another matter, I would call my self a Metrosexual kinda guy, like to take good care of myself, smell nice, hair nice, nice clothes, clean shaven. Sorta guy.

Jay

Just because I like to keep my hair and nails neat and clean doesn't make me less of a man.

I know a few "femme" or "feminine" FTMs and honestly, it doesn't make them any less the great men they are.

I prefer the term "effeminate"...

--Mr. Effeminate x]

^ Oh I agree on the effeminate term.


I like to dress up in women's clothes at the weekend.

Haha, I can do it, but I don't understand why anyone would ever want to sound like that...
