100% femme... I don't know if I know how to think about femme in terms of percentages!! I just feel femme, and femme informs everything I do and am. The problem for me in terms of thinking of myself as such-and-such a percentage femme is that if I say "this isn't femme and that's not femme so I'm only 90% femme" then that means I'm also sorta judging other femmes or saying "that's not femme about you" or something. I think that gets onto a slippery slope of then setting up a standard for what a "real" femme is versus not, and if you don't meet a certain "quota" of femme qualities or something, then you aren't really femme...

There are certainly things about me that I'm *sure* others would identify or see as non-femme. For example: I don't really wear jewelry. Every once in a great while I'll wear button earrings to go with a dress or something but for the most part I don't. Another example: I have a lot of jeans-and-sweatshirt days; I will only put together "outfits" a couple days a week. I love wearing little dresses, but when I'm not in dresses I don't really enjoy putting a ton of thought into what I'm wearing. I don't really accessorize either. So, these are things that I've sometimes felt make me seem not femme enough, and yet as I've been sitting here trying to think of things that are non-femme, even these things seem to be really stretching it for me. I'm just stumped, because even though those things might appear non-femme to others, to me, because I *am* femme, because it's my identity, those things are as femme as the rest of it. I'm a mostly-casual femme, sure, but I fucking LOVE dresses and heels and red lipstick and black eyeliner, and I just *feel* feminine, I feel girly and pretty and femme.

So: I'm 100% femme :)

And, happy holidays to you too!
