Being judged because of your body

    I think people perceive me as more feminine because of my body type. I don't think I'm more feminine than the average girl. I sometimes like to wear tight and fitted clothes to avoid looking like a potato. I guess people perceive those clothes as feminine. I think most girls are more feminine than me because I'm queer. Too bad I have a feminine body and no one will ever believe I'm queer.

    Okay, I'm not quite sure what kind of response this thread is supposed to evoke, so I'll just talk about words. :confused:

    The definition of femininity is about as loosey goosey as words get. From what I've seen, it ranges from presenting yourself in a way which flaunts one's womanly body, to being a member of the female sex, to having qualities which typically seen in a maternal figure, such as softness and empathy. I read a blog post that said femininity is simply to be free, which is wonderfully abstract but terribly nondescript!

    Yeah, I don't like wearing tight fitting clothes since about middle school because I was a bit overweight and you could tell that I was. Now all I wear are a nice baggy t-shirt with jeans so that way girls won't fun of my weight but instead of how I dress.

    I absolutely hate anything that fits to my curves because I believe I don't have that perfect body design even though I lost some of my weight and don't have a double chin anymore (thank GOD). Though most people assume I'm probably a tomboy most of the time even though I do wear girls t-shirts sometimes but the rest of my wardrobe makes me look like a tomboy.

    My LGBT center has a group to help those who are "lipstick lesbians"(their words, not mine) with support. So, the community here realizes that there is a problem.
