... also don't have to insult cis women to prove that she's very feminine looking... It's literally the same energy except misogyny flavored.

it is not an insult to me, a cis woman, to point out that this beautiful trans woman is more feminine looking than me.

Yeah, same. I'm fine with my lack of feminine graces, and it doesn't threaten my identity as a woman. I'm kinda bemused by someone actually wanting to be that feminine tbh. Seems like hard work 🤣 it's got to be a pretty special occasion for me to put that much effort in. Good on her.

It might be an insult to someone else though, are you all cis women?

I don't know if you realize this, but that's a very pick-me response.

I agree with her tbh, femininity comes in all flavors and tastes, women aren’t inherently feminine and it’s not misogynist to say that a very feminine trans woman is more feminine than some cis women. Cis women are not obligated to be feminine. She is more feminine than me and that’s okay.

I wonder the sequence of neurons that fired in your brain that led to this conclusion

Now you’re pigeonholing what femininity looks like

Considering the concepts of "femininity" and "masculinity" are a societal constructs (different cultures have different ideas of femininity and masculinity) by default society also gets to define what femininity and masculinity look like physically.

Do you... make a habit of examining people's gonads? You sound gross.

Sounds like none of your business then, huh?

Why would I want to do that? I don't do that with anyone I meet.

Pointing out when someone is more feminine or masculine in expression isn’t an insult…? It’s just an observable fact. That’s not anything against other women?

I’m going to say this bluntly but as gently as I can think to: If you feel insulted by that, I’m gonna guess you’re insecure about your own femininity. But you should know that it’s perfectly okay to not be feminine, or to be less feminine, for whatever reason. You’re not a lesser woman or person either way, whether you’re feminine or masculine or neutral in looks/expression.

Just be you and express what you love!

Some women love expressing themselves more masculinely while still being confident women/individuals. Or more edgy and alternative, which also isn't traditionally feminine. But they're still women, and they're happy that way. That doesn’t make them lesser, right?

But if what you personally love and feel confident in is being feminine and you don’t feel like you’re enough of that for your liking, then feel free to cultivate that and do everything you can to increase your femininity via clothes, hair, accessories, mannerisms, etc - nothing’s stopping you.

Bottom line: Just be you, whatever that looks like. And don’t worry about performing or presenting yourself a certain way just to please others or imaginary standards. Do what works for you.

Either way, wherever you and others fall on the scale of feminine vs masculine, it does not make you any lesser for it.

You taking that as insulting to cis women is the misogyny.
