Hard Femme ladies out there?
I rarely see WLW describe themselves as Hard Femme, so I’m genuinely curious—are there others here who use that label for themselves too? Because I do. 😂
For me, being a Hard Femme is about having both feminine and masculine sides without feeling like I have to choose between them. I’m definitely femme and enjoy dressing up, looking feminine, and embracing that side of myself. But I’m also very much a tomboy.
I actually like a lot of “guy stuff,” and sometimes the way I think, approach situations, or interact with people feels more traditionally masculine. I’m straightforward, practical, independent, competitive, and sometimes I honestly feel like my brain works more like a guy’s. Lol.
I’m also comfortable dressing masculine sometimes. There are days when I’d rather wear something loose, simple, and masculine than anything super feminine. But I still don’t identify as masc. I’m still very comfortable identifying as femme.
That’s why Hard Femme feels right to me. I can be girly and feminine one day, then completely tomboyish or masculine-presenting the next. 😂
For me, it’s basically “femme with a little dude energy.”
Anyone else relate? 👀
