There is a little girl in every boy and until recently, that girl was locked away, never to see the light of day. Now femulating no longer has the stigma it had in the past. And encouraged by femulating peers, more and more boys are letting their girl out.
Girls are coming out of the closet by posting their images online. Some stray further out of the closet posting images of them out among the civilians.
Going out among the civilians acclimates society to what we do. Seeing a femulator out and about is no longer the rarity it was 10 or 20 years ago and such sightings encourage civilians, who may have an itch to femulate, to try it themselves.
Girls just want to have fun and once a boy discovers how much fun it is to be a girl, it is harder and harder to put their girl back in the closet after tasting her lipstick.
For years, females have had the freedom to be as boyish as they desire. I believe that society has reached a point where males now have the freedom to be as girlish as they desire. Many boys don't realize it yet, but as they become more aware, girls like us will be everywhere.

This is so darn true! The new faces on Reditt is endless
ReplyDeleteThese girls look so good too! With so much support and sources of online clothes, pads, make-up they flourish!
I think we are more common then we think!

Astute observations, my friend. As with many things in life, the more you do it the better you become and the more confidence you have. In my most recent out of town trip (chronicled in MY blog - https://juliemshaw.blogspot.com/2020/11/just-like-riding-bicycle.html) I realized that my self confidence was so strong that there was NO hesitation stepping out of the hotel room and into the world. And that level of confidence can only come from getting out there and being who you know you are. I hope that experience gives another, younger Sister the boost they need to do the same. (As your blog has done for so many of us!) Thank you, Stana, for all your efforts.
ReplyDeleteSo true. As an old retired lady I have too much time to get lost in the internet. Just look at how many of us on Flickr have early photos of ourselves presenting as men in dresses. As the years go by and we truly focus on our femininity we look less and less like those "men in dresses". Another phenomenon is that so many ladies actually start to look younger as we become adept with makeup and discover what clothing makes us look more like women. Confidence isn't just internal -- we can see it in the evolving series of photos.
DeleteWhen I looked at the "One of the 'millions'...." photo I flashed back to the 1950's! We certainly didn't have colorblock fashions or stacked heels back then, but the overall aura of the photo is my mother! Back then my mom and the other ladies would dress "to the nines" just to go shopping. My mother would dress fashionably, wear heels and a hat and always wear her white gloves. Sometimes she would take me to the dining room of Lansburgh's (a local DC department store) and I can't remember ever seeing a lady without her white gloves. Outside of this photo, when is the last time you saw a lady wearing white gloves?? I don't have white gloves, but if I ever get my hands on a '50's retro outfit I'd feel incomplete -- a bit naked, really -- without the gloves!
DeleteWould you believe that I have a pair of white gloves! Haven't worn them in years, but I'm prepared for the next time I get invited to have tea with the ladies.
DeleteWell said Julie, and thank you Stana for giving us this chance to learn about all things femme....Trina
ReplyDeleteStarting at the age of 10 in 1960 all I could ever do is sneak Mother's nylons garter belt and high heels that would still fit on my little feet. Into my teens it became clear that I loved looking like a woman. Of course in those days you thought you were the only one on the planet that enjoyed this special feeling. Long short Mother caught me too many times and ruining her nylons and making just a mess of her things she bought me my own as long as I did it in my bedroom. Still being a teen with male friends there would be no way for this to ever come out not if I wanted to live a long life. So there was no growing in my favorite thing to do until I moved away at 29. Then I had the opportunity to do what I wanted when I wanted. Now a days these young people are just too beautiful they have refined their look to perfection. Mu point here is it's never too late butt it is also wonderful if you can start early not that ti is accepted in many areas
ReplyDeleteIt's about darn time it becomes "acceptable" for boys to allow the girl inside to shine, to have their outward appearance match the pretty inside.
ReplyDeleteCiao! Elise
When girls and women want to be more boyish or mannish for the most part they don't use masculine names.
ReplyDeleteI believe it might be more acceptable to society when men dress as women that they retain their masculine names and identities.
I look very much like a cis-woman with my figure and my hair beyond shoulder length, so much that I get ma'amed even when I am wearing men's clothing. Non the less, I keep my voice which is a deep bass and my masculine name of John.
If it were more acceptable to wear feminine clothes, I would wear a nice skirt for casual wear, with a casual shirt. I have several nice skirts in my stash, a denim, a brown cord, a nice black pencil skirt or a casual white jersey skirt skirt. And the shoes to match.
ReplyDeletePlease, continue to mainstream men in skirts. Someday I will be able to dress as I wish.
I'm in my 50s so grew up before the internet. I always kept the fact that I loved to wear women's clothes very much to myself, until a year or so ago when I discovered Reddit. It was good to see so many others of all ages who feel the same as me. After a while I felt confident enough to post some pictures of myself, although as I don't have any makeup or a wig they have to be headless. Thanks to the support of the community I'm looking forward to the day when I can finally post full pictures of myself, and hopefully begin to venture out into the world as a woman

I have Facebook. When I created my Facebook account, I never posted a profile photo of me. Instead, I posted a picture of my Suzuki motorcycle. For ten years, the bike was my “me” photo.
ReplyDeleteHalloween 2020 comes. Heck, 2020 itself. The year has been... something else, am I right? I decided that I loved my Halloween outfit and all that it meant to me. For the first time ever, I was going to change my profile photo. Red wig, bullet bra, pink skirt, Heather is me. I know that.
My friends here know me as Heather.
My wife loves me as Heather.
2/3 of my kids know I’m Heather.
Even my ex-wife is aware of Heather.
Visibility? Yes.
It's fun. I feel great when I "like" or comment on stories in my FB timeline about LGBTQ issues, but especially transgender issues with my photo and birthname. I hope that when a person questioning whether it's ok to live a genuine life, as their true self sees me commenting as my birthname in my feminine finery, they can feel a bit stronger, more confident and empowered.
Thank you Stana! Thank you to all the allies and pioneers who laid a path for us to follow, we appreciate your trailblazing in the online world and opening a door to us.
Heather
You look gorgeous darling!!!!!,XXX
ReplyDeleteWhy is it more, and more common now than, It was 10, 20 , every 30 more years ago, why is it more common to see a tomboy in pants, than femulate if I'm saying right, why is it still a taboo to see a guy in a dress, it doesn't matter, He looks good, and got fashion sense its still a taboo. I think if we lesson the and restriction , maybe, maybe it be better, but there those would use it was a weapon against people!
