'''Femme''' is a term used in [[
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 [[LGBT+]] way, as opposed to cishets. Some [[Transmasculine|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]] people.
Traditionally, femme has been used by individuals who are attracted to [[Butch|butches]]. For some femmes, this attraction to butches represents a strong part of their own identity. However, some femmes are attracted to other femmes.▼
Femme men often use the spelling "fem," which is simply the older version of "femme" and was also used by LGBT+ women before "femme" became common. When said out loud, the terms sound identical. Femme men are associated with highly exaggerated feminine style and manner, which is often a reclamation of the derogatory association of SGA men with femininity. Some femme men enjoy drag, and other have a more subdued but clearly feminine style. The infamous "gay accent" is associated with, but not always used by, these men.
Femme is most commonly associated with lesbians, but it is also used by other groups in the LGBTQ+ community. This includes [[Pluralian|m-spec]] [[Sapphic|sapphics]] and queer men.▼
