Does anyone have any tips for looking more feminine? I feel like even though I dress up sometimes I still feel like I’m performing femininity. But maybe it’s because I’m neurodivergent and also a late bloomer 😪

the silhouette of your outfit is important! lots of accessories like hairclips and jewelry will elevate the outfit more than you think. pastel colors and frilly clothes are about as feminine as you can get. axes femme is a really nice brand and you can find good pieces of theirs on depop. most importantly, if you feel like youre simply just being performative, femininity just may not be your thing, and thats totally okay. everyone expresses gender differently. you have free will, use it.

all gender is performative, you act/dress/present a certain way to get a reaction. that doesnt necessarily mean its inauthentic though

Thanks for the tips! I don’t think my femininity is performative but sometimes I feel like since I’m neurodivergent and also a women of color sometimes I considered like masculine if that makes sense? Like sometimes because we subvert Eurocentric beauty standards we (referring to other neurodivergent woc) we aren’t read at feminine but idk
