Most femine transsexual

Description:Share via Email 'Of course, femininity is not solely about external things like make up, but getting them wrong can have real social consequences. Simultaneously, whilst I knew that changing my body carried no obligation to adopt any socially gendered behaviours, presenting as female made it prudent to at least consider my ideas of 'femininity', and how 'feminine' I wished to be. I wrote when discussing 'passing' that gender roles are like languages, with men expected to 'speak' or perform their version of 'masculinity', and women 'femininity'. Those who don't talk like natives invariably stand out. Transsexual women weren't raised with femininity as their 'language' or to express themselves in a 'feminine' manner — and in a world that often warns those born male against any display of femininity from a young age, and in which those adjudged to get it wrong can be ruthlessly attacked , this can be a problem. Unlike languages, which have concrete rules, gender is often defined as much by what it isn't as what it is, and learned by doing.
