Daily Poll - Tuesday

[ct]

because i know ya'll have been missing my incessant polling

[2brides]

no, not really. I am kinda femme (but probably not in compared to straight women), but have the emotional IQ of a man. When it comes to communication, I am so the male energy in our relationship.

[never2amazing]

I do...in my hey-day my shirt and hat literally read "Macho Butch." Growing up in the "dyke/femme" era it is hard not to identify as one or the other. I have to admit though, C has made me appreciate being a woman.

[hensmum]

Yes! I identify as femme. It's taken time, but I really feel quite comfy with that label now. In fact, I feel I'd identify as a queer femme more than as a lesbian. Of course in my day to day life as a gay married mom, it's not really relevant though.

My wife is neither, by a long shot, haha.

[kershnic]

Eh, not really. I'm certainly not butch, but I'm not all that femme either. I have long hair, I like the color pink, I'm pretty stereo typically feminine in my emotional reactions and communication style. I wear more pants than dresses/skirts, but I do wear them. I almost always wear flat shoes out of comfort. I think I'm more lazy than anything else.

[quinny]

I guess I voted incorrectly. I said 'no' because I don't tend to label myself any which way. But if you are asking about my style, than I am feminine. I used to be super, duper feminine but then I became a mom. Now I am a stay-at-home-mom who sometimes manages a shower, always puts on mascara, and hopefully slides into some nice, ass fitting jeans. But usually I'm in yoga pants. So I defer to the 3rd category:Mom to a 1 year old. Once he is in play groups and/or we spend more time out of the home, I will update my wardrobe but for now, it's mom in jeans and a long sleeve tee-shirt, possibly not showered (and these days, covered in snot. N turned 1 and instantly became a snotty toddler. oye vey. Hopefully this cold passes soon and I can drop the last sub-category)

K doesn't fit into either category. She's athletic, feminine, casual

[ct]

Its a no for me.

[twotrue]

Nope. I don't think I put any labels on myself. Other people probably do enough of that for me.

[hensmum]

Quinny, I think being a feminine person versus identifying as femme as definitely two different things - so I don't think you answered incorrectly

Well, you just summed me up to a T.

[hlke]

No, neither C nor I do. I actually see a lot of butch qualities in C, but she's pretty attached to the feminine aspects of her idenitity too. I'd say I'm a "chapstick bisexual".

Def.

I think I'm feminine but I'm not a femme.

[rikkiandjulie]

I am without a doubt femme although i hate the labels. Julie isnt femme or butch really. She sits right in the middle I guess.

I identify as a queer femme, although I don't think of it often and primarily when when we are going out/dressing up. I think we all perform gender everyday and while my daily dress is more comfy/lazy, it's definitely femme/feminine for the most part. I pass as straight, but that doesn't mean I am a straight woman and I've never identified as a lesbian. So, for me, if I'm labeling myself, it's queer femme.
