Feminine Aspies?

Post Reply New Topic

You want to know something? I think there are more women interested in DIY stuff around the house than males!

I've never really understood why certain things are considered "feminine" and others are "masculine." I don't care about being one or the other, I'm just me.

Somehow I am girly, I like wearing dresses and skirts, but I also do not seem to do it right. I am not really good at doing makeup.

I don't always "do masculine" right---but my intention is to be masculine. Therefore, I think of myself as being masculine, no matter how awkward I might look.

As long as your intention is to be feminine, then you're feminine.

I feel I'm a mix. I've said to myself over the years that I love pink, but hate dresses -- I love playing in the mud, but hate having lingering grime on me -- I love romance, but not glurge -- I love power tools, but not the idea of basing my livelihood around them. I'm not sure how much of this is societal influence versus personality.

I am girly on the outside but feel quite androgynous personality wise. I enjoy dressing up, my makeup is always done but always in edgy colourful way. I love dying my hair crazy colours and getting my nails done nice and bright.
Growing up until about puberty I would pretty much always wear boys clothes and hated anything pink and girly. I was always more interested in animals and creepy crawlies.. never into barbies etc

I'm really feminine It's interesting to see that a lot of ladies on the spectrum here were tomboyish when they were younger but are more feminine now - ditto!
