I know I'm a GG, but I haven't always been "feminine". I think part of the reason I've embraced my gender is because of this site. Especially my TG friends on here. You're all so strong and beautiful. You're inspirations to even us bio females.
For a long time I was plain jane... Or at some points wore more masculine clothes. I kept my hair chin length, no makeup, lots of flannel and jeans... I was one of the guys. I was your stereotypical girl saying "I just get along with guys better! Girls are bitches!"
I did the natural thing because that's what my ex liked. Then when I started dating my husband he liked me in dresses, but he's still very anti-lipstick/nail polish/big curly hair/ etc. I tip toed around what he liked and didn't like for a long time.
When I got to this site I had gone through several phases trying to find where I fit. Anywhere from pin-up to nearly grunge without being too over the top. Never too "girly". I could never find a balance of what I liked while still being natural, not too feminine. I was slowly getting into feminism. I wanted to be tough. I wanted my husband to think I was pretty. I went through a short-lived "bohemian" phase.
I got serious about nbe and I realized what it felt like to be in control of my body. The more feminine my body became, the more I embraced myself and what I like... What I like and not what my husband or anyone else likes! It felt good and it was empowering! These days I'm modeling my dream body from classic pin-ups. I love my vintage dresses and my red lipstick. My Pinterest over-flows with 40s fashion and done up hair and faces. Lately the girlier I am the more empowered I feel. I've even picked up sewing with the intention to eventually make all my own clothing out of vintage patterns I find at antique stores. I want to find a good medium between dita Von teese and Zooey deschanel.
