Breaking it down - describe the Femme that you are

[vagina]

I am not sure exactly what makes me or anyone for that matter Femme. In historical context, Femme means that I dress in skirts and heels to attract Butches. I feel that what makes me Femme is that I am a lesbian and prefer women with certain features and characteristics that are Butch. Being Femme to me means that I can change oil and balance the tires; I can snowboard better than the guys, while my Butch can cook and sew me under the table. Femme means that my seduction game is completely different from the Butch. My confidence comes from being able to seduce with tinted red lips and the swing of my hips. Femme means that I can spot a Butch from a mile away! Femme for me means that I like for Butch to be the lead in dancing... just long enough for us to figure out a way to let me take the lead. Femme means that I have memories of wanting to dress in silk nighties and wanting to be seductive. It means that I have memories of seeing women's breasts and desiring to feel them. Femme means that I desire the Butch women exactly for their walk and the signals that they send out. Femme means that to the outside world it will always seem that it is the Butch who protects me, yet in our hearts we both know that we protect each other.

I love this. Thank you!

I'm a badass queer femme. I'm extremely independent and I don't take shit from anyone. My usual style of dress is not frilly; I'm more comfortable in capri's and tshirts, however, I can, and do wear a dress/skirt/lingerie and heels when the mood strikes me. My nails are always polished and I wear a moderate amount of makeup on a regular basis. I like motorcycles, tattoos, and I play a mean game of poker.

I'm extroverted and typical scarlet southern type.

I love animals, I find compassion and love for all things.
Netflix and baking are my favorite pass times.
Football is a big deal to me, where I'm from it's a religion.
I can be hard on myself, I always feel like I can do better. Even if I'm the best at something there's that feeling I can do more.
I rarely open myself to others, once I feel I can't trust you my emotional wall becomes the only emotion I show.
When I get angry, my accent gets thicker.

I am a Stonefemme who caters to the needs & desires of a Stonebutch… Lipstick, high-heeled, femininely polished look at all times, yet who enjoys a deep flushed tangled haired sweat that only a butch can induce within me…

A femme whose heart skips a beat for all the wonders in life, who sees a part of me in other sister-femmes… no matter where they identify on the spectrum…

A femme who appreciates the gift that has been bestowed upon me… having the ability to see a butch through their self-vision, to respect boundaries, encompass mindsets, embracing their need to be whole… whether strapped or not…

But mostly importantly I am a femme who has learned to not lose sight of myself in love and in life…

Resonating…

I just wanted to say that I started reading this thread tonight and couldn't stop! It amazes me that there are so many wonderful women here. While some of the stories seem so intense, the courage and strength is amazing. Proud to be femme! Go girls.

If there was ever anyone born in the wrong era it is me.
What sort of femme am I?
The kind that loves to dance barefoot in the rain.
I am the kind of femme that will had you the hammer so you can get the nail in, because no matter how hard I try I always get it crooked. I'm the kind that will fix you dinner because it pleases me, not because I feel like I have too.
I bake to relieve stress.
I occasionally wear jeans.
I adore my long skirts.
Sometimes I dress vintage with a minimal amount of makeup... The style is often described as pin up girl I believe... Other times I look like I come straight from the sixties. Flower power!
I am the type to hug a tree just because I feel about it. I hate grocery shopping, but I love window shopping.
I don't like see through clothing for myself, though I admire some of the more tasteful ensembles on other people.
I'm the type of femme that has no problems sitting with my feet crossed under me while on the couch, just watching an occasional western.
I have such a hunger for knowledge that you can talk to me about anything, but I warn you, if it has too much to do with a car you've already lost me with the first sentence, but I will keep listening because I am absolutely charmed with the way you talk.
I'm crafty, but I can't follow instructions to save my life, so I find my own way.
I'm the type of femme that thinks it be perfectly okay to sleep in her shirt... and nothing else.
I'd absolutely be tickled pink if you get the door for me, but I wouldn't expect it.
I'll buy my own.
I'll kill the spider, or shoo it out the house, but if there is a mouse? I'm done. LOL
I sing in the shower, while I'm cleaning, and sometimes if you're lucky I'll serenade you.
random facts ****
Loves unicorns
is a dork
loves kittens
loves puppies
love love loves bunnies
and yes, chickens
fantasizes about fixing an old vw bug bus and maybe seeing different parts of the country
Im the type that believes relationships are meant to be even leveled. What you give I will give equivalently. We're meant to be partners and I refuse to be handled with kid gloves... except when I am at a low point and just want you to hold me.

Finally, I'm the type of femme that can't be placed in a box, because for me just like MacGyver I'm going to find about a million ways to escape it.
I am also a nurture type... hence why I work with kids.
