Talk:Femme

Wait, so can I use the word "Femme" if I am girly but AroAce? I mean, it is commonly used by lesbians.

 * Hi Itz henka gacha! Some people consider femme to be a lesbian-only term, but it is used by people of other sexual orientations as well. For example, some gay men and non-binary people identify as femme. When used as an identity term, it generally refers to someone's gender expression (displaying various "feminine" traits such as clothing and makeup). Femme can also simply describe how someone presents on occasion, such as dressing up for an event, rather than being part of their identity. Since aroace describes romantic and sexual orientation rather than gender, they don't contradict each other. How do you feel about the two words together? :) &mdash; Immi Thrax  (she/her) (message me) 23:34, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
