Expressing your feminine side is about much more than just clothes and makeup. After all, women are a little more complex than that!
That’s why I wanted to go beyond the obvious and explore some unexpected strategies to help you enhance your feminine expression.
In this blog post for crossdressers and transgender women, I share 3 unexpected ways to be more feminine. Read on to learn more!
1. Buy a New Perfume
The right perfume can make you feel irresistibly feminine. While it’s great to have a signature scent, sometimes it helps to switch things up and discover new perfumes to bring out your inner woman.
Here are some suggestions to match your desired vibe:
- Floral scents: Embrace your soft, romantic side with the allure of flowers.
- Fresh or fruity scents: Boost your confidence and energy levels with invigorating notes.
- Woody or oriental scents: Unleash your inner seductress with warm, captivating fragrances.

2. Be More Polite
Did you know that politeness plays a significant role in enhancing your feminine image?
Countless studies have shown that women tend to excel in the realm of manners, and adopting these social graces can truly elevate your femininity.
Here are three suggestions to keep in mind:
- Embrace the power of “please” and “thank you” – These little words hold huge power in conveying respect and gratitude. Remember to use them often in your daily interactions.
- Soften your language – For example, instead of bluntly saying “I can’t hear you,” opt for a more gentle approach like, “I’m sorry, I can’t quite hear you.” This subtle shift demonstrates empathy and consideration.
- Mind your online presence – Politeness shouldn’t be limited to face-to-face encounters. It’s equally important to be polite when texting, emailing, or engaging in online discussions.
3. Loosen Up
If you’re looking for an instant way to enhance your feminine image, here’s a simple secret: loosen up! This applies to both your body and your mind, and it can work wonders in unleashing your true feminine grace.
First, let’s focus on loosening up your body:
Women naturally possess a graceful, limber quality. If your body feels tense and tight, it can manifest in stiff, jerky movements that lack femininity. Here’s how you can loosen up:
- Consciously relax your body, especially your jaw and shoulders.
- Stretch your muscles on a daily basis.
- Take lots of deep, relaxing breaths.
These simple body-loosening techniques can do more to feminize your movements than all the hip shaking in the world!
Now, let’s shift our focus to loosening up your mind:
The happiest crossdressers and transgender women I know don’t get hung up on “passing” or trying to please everybody. Instead, they embrace who they are while constantly striving to improve themselves.
Life is short, so above all, relax and enjoy the journey!

Yes… Everyone’s bodies are different… everyone. As far as I’m concerned the mirror lies. However… I’m under no illusion of what I actually look like. Passing is not the objective. But I do try to dress my age with some sense of fashion.
But how I need to present for me is what it is about. How I feel in those clothes is that priceless gift I drink in every time. It’s telling the world that the feminine part of me will no longer be hidden away and buried. I need to be me, not societies idea of what some think I should look like or dress like. Denying and hiding that part of myself for over fifty years did not work. It did come out over time because you have to be yourself.
And yes… I will enjoy every precious moment I’m still alive and give courage to those who are still coming to terms for who they are inside.
Well said… This is the best I have heard spoken… on being Transgender. We are who we are. I didn’t ask to be born this way. None of us have. I can’t help the way I feel. It’s just there, in us… It the way we feel inside. Thank you Stevie. I have also read that all of us start life as females. Women do not have male and female eggs in them. They are all female eggs. And it is not until 6 to 8 weeks of life that things will changes for you. You will either stay a female or your chromosome will cause you to become a male. And for that reason, I can see why some of us feel the way we feel. We are NOT perfect humans being, just people of the human race.
Thank you girl!!!!
As usual, you’ve suggested thoughts that I have been having without understanding them.
I have found out that one way to feel more feminine is be yourself, enjoy how you look and feel, and not worry about passing. What people see is the real you. I take the view that I am on a journey, on an emasculation,
feminization journey, and what people see is where I am currently at. I attend classes in women’s studies and feminism, as well as attend meetings with women’s organizations. I love being with women and learning about women’s issues. I feel like one on the inside. The women there either say nothing or believe I am transitioning and on hormones, because of my breast growth (I am a C cup). One of the women’s organizations I am involved with wants me to work for them as a secretary, as a volunteer, and I have accepted. They address me and treat me like the other women there, which I love. Taking vocal feminization classes is a big help too. It has given me more confidence to speak like the other women. I took classes with Kathe Perez for several months and she was so happy with my progress. If my voice would drop too low she would put up her and as if to say stop. Talk like a woman or don’t talk at all. I love being trained like that.
Dear Jessica, I could not agree more with you regarding the voice. Most TVs I know and even transsexuals sound male to me. Are you really working as a lady teacher? I don’t know whether it is possible to get an answer to my question.
I agree to all points of Lucille. One problem I have are my legs. They have a good shape but a slightly O. But as a female, I concentrate to keep my knees together.
Best wishes to all of you

erika u r very attractive
You look amazing Erika. Thanks so much for posting your photo.
Thank you, Lucille, for the nice compliment.
I will grade myself high on the cologne category and being polite (There is a lot of common ground on being a true Southern gentleman and a lady). I wear feminine colognes daily but try to stay away from overtly feminine ones unless I am fully dressed.
I try to “hand loose” but I tend to carry all of my tension in my upper back and neck. I am doing physical therapy now to find ways to stretch the muscles in my problem areas.
As many of us have limited time to fully express our woman within, would you consider doing an article on “unisex” fragrances. I now use CK1 and Bvlgari Black.
i love it.
As I have always said. “Life is a ball, all we got to do is live it.”
very true girlfriend
I feel more feminine when I shave my legs, armpits, groin and chest. I then apply moisturiser after shaving. When I get home from work of a day, I get out of my male clothes and put on bra, breast-forms /shapewear panties/pantyhose dress. I have noticed that wearing a bra/crop-top bra, it helps one to sit up straight with legs together, like a woman should, and not slouch as men normally do.
I have total confidence in purchasing women’s clothes in a department store when I’m in male mode. Knowing what you want to buy helps, rather than fumbling through the racks, drawing attention of store staff.
#1. I love to always have my toes done. Fresh pedicure makes me feel feminine. I keep a manicure even if i don’t have polish on, i gotta keep smooth hands and nails.
#2. Exfoliate. i do a body scrub once a week to help keep my skin smooth. Especially in the unmentionable areas.
