Femmes will often dress in feminine clothing, and typically present themselves in a more stereotypically feminine way, such as having long hair and wearing makeup. Femmes are also commonly thought of as having more "feminine" interests. However, femmes often subvert cultural expectations of femininity or show femininity in a uniquely lesbian way, as opposed to [[cishet]] women. Some [[transmasculine]] femmes may not take certain steps associated with transmasculine transition, such as going on [[Hormone Replacement Therapy|testosterone]]. Femmes can be [[cisgender]], [[transgender]], or any other [[Gender Modality|gender modality]]. Femme can also be used by [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] individuals. |
