Femme Certification (WIP)
Earn Your Femme-Passing Certification in 525,600 Minutes.
if you just went “that’s only a year”
take an entire minute to reconsider your reaction
so like, the fact that “passing” has meaning
means that there are stereotypical cisF and cisM behaviors, traits and interests
that we intuitively use to gender people
..
so don’t get offended by the stereotypes herein
identifying all of them is like, part of the point
ill italicize if i haven’t observed clear gender differentiation/stereotyping
dont expect a lot of italics!

ya know what i find particularly funny here?
displaying your crotch is masculine & hiding your crotch is feminine
but cis AFABs have nothing to display down there!
so why does so much of femme posture focus on hiding the crotch
..
”obviously” skirts & dresses
but is that actually a good explanation?
other than like, flappers during the roaring 20s and from the 80s on
standard femme hem lines were below knee, usually well below
for like, almost all of the past few centuries
so are skirts and dresses actually an explanation for femme sitting posture?
imo? this is one of those instances where the femme stereotype
is a social inversion of a an instinctual male display behavior
the good ole “because men do that, women shouldn’t do that” rationale
