'Why do you feel the need?': Femininity as artificiality

Can it not possibly be that feminine people dress or behave femininely or indeed do anything just to suit ourselves? Femme Guy is tired of people questioning his motivations to live and celebrate his femmeness.

A constant refrain over my journey to accepting, living, and celebrating my femmeness has been, "Why do you feel the need to" do whatever femme thing happens to be striking the person's irritation at the time.

The subtext is that it's not possible I should just want to do these things, that they should just make me happy or agree with me. Since I'm a boy, I have to have some reason; I have to be able to account for them.

"Why do you feel the need to ask?" is probably the best repsonse!
