What does Femme mean?

Femme describes a more traditionally feminine gender presentation, style, or energy.

Also: fem, feminine

Femme, from feminine, describes a presentation and vibe on the more feminine end of the spectrum. It is a proud self-description for many and a preference for some.

Femme-presenting people sometimes face bias in dating spaces, so leading with respect matters. Attraction is personal, but kindness costs nothing.

As with masc, femme is about expression, not position or dynamic. People contain multitudes and can be femme and anything else.

"Femme and fabulous."
