As I have said many times in the past, any attempts to publicly #police #femininity are inevitably going to ensnare far many more cis #women who fail to live up to whatever benchmark of femininity is defined than they will ever catch trans women trying to live their lives in peace.

There are far many more "ugly" cis women in the world than there are trans women of any standard you care to, or ever could, measure by.

Her Maths Story

“(...) I dream of cultivating a more feminine mathematical culture. Partly, that means to be honest with all sorts of emotions that arise from mathematical practice. Even though I see mathematics itself as a genderless activity, the gendered culture brought by mathematicians is real. I dream that mathematicians will someday open up more of our human, emotional elements into research papers and talks. To play my part, I will start to look deeply into my colleagues’ mathematical practices to share our woes, obsessions, hopes and dreams. As I rise higher in the rank, I will have more chances to usher in the strength in emotional openness in supervision, papers, and seminars. Someday we will be climbing the celestial mountains of abstraction as a team, not in the misguided spirit of nerd machismo, but rather in the spirit of nurturing yet powerful femininity.” - Uzu Lim

Did anyone else's female family members teach them how to "be feminine"? Like, style their hair, do their makeup, wear dresses?
I was a tomboy until years after I moved away from home & in hindsight I think it just felt safer & easier.
For a long time, I resented my mother & aunts because none of them ever sat me down & taught me how to be a girl or woman. I'd look at my friends & younger sisters & it was obvious that they'd gotten the message.
