With the correction to the URL: http://femmeftms.tumblr.com

It's actually http://femmeftm.tumblr.com (ftm not ftms).

Anyway, thanks.  I needed to look at something like that.  It's good to see all the ways people identify and present themselves.  Gives me ideas...

I am a somewhat masculine trans woman and I just love the more fem transguys.
Sorta like my exact opposite.

Same can be said for me - yet one caveat:
- So long the guy is fine just being who/how he is by his nature, not using some agro overcompensation to try and cover up his fem nature.
This of course ALSO applies to cis-guys.
Am to much 'male-natured' (fem-trans-dyke) myself, not to take on powerplay BS easily.

Yes, I've taken my E and run on ~ zero T too, he he

Put one in my bed and ask me in the morning! 
As long as they are a decent person, it's really a non-issue for me.  I prefer to judge people by more than that. Personally I would probably find him more attractive than a masculine transman or cis-man.

I'm pretty goddamn femmey myself, when I'm confident enough to be. I'm in the process of growing my hair back out, though (finally).

Like someone already said, I'm not gonna judge anyone else who's trying to do the same damn thing I am.

QuoteFor you older/younger masculine transguys, what are your opinions on the femme transmen?

I don't relate, but that's no reason to form an opinion of them.
Be true to yourself and don't worry what anybody else thinks they need to think.

Darrin I saw you on it!

Also saw a couple guys I've seen around town doing queer stuff.

lol I'm pretty femme. I mean, I don't wear dresses like a lot of those dudes do (NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT!) I just don't identify as a masculine guy. I love photography and music. I'll just never be one of those guys who sits round drinking beer and watching football. Nothing wrong with that, I just don't. And I'm also not saying that beer and football is strictly manly. Just an example.

Your description is about where I'm at, and I feel roughly that way about it too. I'm a caveman compared to a lot of the guys on that site, but I'm a lot more feminine than most of the transmen I've met elsewhere.

And yes of course it's fine for anyone to express themselves anywhere on that spectrum.

I consider myself pretty masculine in interests and stuff. Other people might disagree, but whatever. But I have no problem with femme ftms. People have the right to express their gender however they want to.  A lot of them look cute as a button too. :3

I am a very femme transboy. I like my girly pants sometimes, love my heeled boots, and love my jewelry. I think we rock. But then, I also really like seeing the masculine transguys too, my personality just isn't the traditional guy's personality.

I think that either way, just because we may like to dress in certain manners doesn't make us any less men. Just makes us different types of dude. Different strokes, and all that jazz.

You know, I said earlier that I dig feminine transmen. I should point out that masculine transmen are also pretty hot. All kinds of guys can be pretty tasty and amazing.

This has nothing to do with this thread, but you have a great taste in music, Felix. Love your signature.

I think it is so cute (even feminine cismen is cute) I like it

My personal opinion is that it doesn't matter. You know what you want, and no one else can tell you what you want. I've always thought that gender roles were kinda stupid, myself. I lean towards being masculine in personality, but there are some feminine things I enjoy, and I'm not about to stop enjoying them just because people say only girls enjoy them. I also rather like androgynous clothing styles, as well as more masculine clothing styles. I'm not about to give either up to fit someone else's idea of how I should act or look.

So in summary, I've seen femme trans guys, and femme bio guys, and it doesn't strike me as being a big deal at all.

Heh, I'm kinda effeminate myself. I keep my hair long-ish and get called 'scene-boy' a lot. It was trying at first, being who I really am.
I'm not the froo-froo type of man by any means, but I suppose a lot of people mistake me for being an Emo or something like that because of how I look. 'Scrawny' kid with dark hair that has obviously seen a straightener, artsy with tattoos and piercings and all that and an affinity for black.
Like I said, it was difficult at first to just be 'me' and express the things I felt like expressing to the world. I think the notion that we 'should' be more masculine in an attempt to over-compensate is a mind-trap a lot of FTMs fall into. After the huge voice-drop, surgery and facial hair (though still would like more, please) I find it easier to just accept that part of me just isn't entirely masculine. Everything is a spectrum and gender (or gender identity) should not affect who we are at our core. We'll like what we like and (in a perfect world) we'll all present to the world what we feel comfortable presenting.

Now, I'm not a masculine transguy, at all, so maybe I shouldn't put in my two cents, but I will anyway. The fact of the matter is that I don't understand why femme transguys aren't more accepted in today's society (But I too get some pretty nasty comments about it, along the lines of, 'You act like a girl, so just be a girl!' and what not,) After all...cisguys can be femmine, and it's considered trendy for goodness sake! Just look at Johnny Depp >___O; No matter what you say, he's not very manly, but this is beside the point @____@;

Obviously, no, I see nothing wrong with girly transboys. I think we're awesome.

^This.

I also find it impressive that most of the people who do just, "be themselves" have a much healthier outlook on a lot of things. It's finding that understanding that putting on an act can be detrimental that can be a hard step - because often you're also stepping outside of what a lot of people consider "normal" (ex: having tattoos, piercings, different hair, different clothes, etc.) or you are so wrapped up in what other people think of you that it becomes detrimental as well. This is not to say that everyone should all be the artsy, rocker, "not normal" person of course. It's just a matter of personal taste. If your personal taste really is dockers and a button up shirt, then rock that sh*t. But don't force yourself to present an appearance to the world when that's not what makes you comfortable or what you actually like (exception of course would be certain situations - business, weddings, etc. etc where it is perfectly ok to "dress up" or not be yourself for the situation).

Some bio guys are feminine so I don't really see how they are different.

Lol I don't know man, Morrissey's a feminine enough guy that it's not too far off topic.
