    What, in your opinions, is femininity?

    I am wanting to express myself outwardly as a little more feminine at times, but I feel uncomfortable being feminine, even though a big part of me wants to be and lovesd the idea.

    Oooh! I love this! It really depends on what you are comfy doing. I'm assuming you're amab?
    If so, the way you talk goes a looong way, first off, and people don't usually perceive it as a huge deal. the way you move is also very obvious but not too permanent or commented on. They both reflect an internal femininity without trying to look like you're a different person or someone who is trying too hard.

    Yup. Still trying to work out how I identify myself.

    As a spiritual person, I immediately think of the sacred feminine and sacred masculine aspects. The traditional image of sacred femininity is the Mother. She is beautiful, but in an abundant way, not a vapish waif way. She cultivates the land, provides sustenance and comfort, but also is a protector. She's the fierce she-wolf. Women's lives move in cycles: birth and death, sex/creativity and solitude/introspection. If you tap into those cycles, you can ride them throug your life, and that is living the sacred feminine.

    I'm not really sure what it is honestly.
