You know what Anon, this is an excellent question. I’ve been thinking hard about it ever since you asked. I hope you’re still around to see the answer.
At first I wanted to say that I don’t use femme as a synonym for female, because femme identity isn’t and shouldn’t be tied to sex.
Then I realized that your question must have been prompted by my post about casting Clea Duvall as “femme Dean,” following the fandom parlance for genderbent characters. In which case, you’re absolutely right. Femme Dean is distinct from cis woman Dean, and I conflated the two without thinking. Thank you for bringing it to my attention, and I’ll be more careful with my language in the future.
They could overlap, of course. Just as Jensen Ackles is equally appealing in denim and canvas as he is in a tuxedo, I expect Clea Duvall would be just as gritty and tough during the hunt and clean up just as well when the occasion called for it.
Hard femme Dee?
YES PLEASE.
When my hair was longer it was harder to fit it under wigs so I tended to just go with it. I really do have Sam Winchester hair a lot of the time, although it’s longer than his here.
I love the hell out of this dress. Random find at an antique shop in my neighborhood and it looks fantastic on me. It’s a really interesting shade of purple, which I don’t usually go for. The necklace is great too, it’s amethyst framed by pewter lion heads.
And this is an example of fancyqueer mode. I wore this to FaerieCon last year.
The mask is from Tiger Torre at the Maryland Renaissance Festival, and the wig is from the Five Wits; both highly recommended. I did my nails myself, and the knitted belt is also my work—the dress is from like tenth grade when I needed formal pieces for my boarding school’s dress code, and it didn’t fit my waist right when I put it on for the con, so I added a scarf as a belt. I also wore black and white fishnet stockings and black ankle boots.
I have a few other awesome dresses that I wear for parties and dancing. Less formal fancyqueer outfits are usually all about the skirts, socks, and shoes; I don’t really have many appropriate tops so I usually end up pairing them with a fitted tee that goes with the other colors.
Speaking of that moment…
OMG SAM IS SO PRETTY. I need this in my life.
“timey wimey” collection by geek chic cosmetics
buy individually, or get the whole set on sale for $38.34I would walk through a cavern full of Weeping Angels just to touch “We Are Coming”, “Untimely Love”, and “Bigger On the Inside”!
Oh sweet nerdalicious (and almost local) cosmetics, please be mine!
WHAT THE HELL OH MY GOD I CAN’T HANDLE THIS RIGHT NOW. DOCTOR WHO EYE SHADOWS I AM DYING. YES YES YES THIS IS ALL I’VE EVER WANTED OUT OF LIFE. MAKEUP AND DOCTOR WHO. I CAN’T. Sorry for freaking out, you guys but seriously Doctor Who is my all time favorite television show and makeup is one of my biggest passions. The only thing that could top this would be a Doctor Who musical that I was in/doing makeup for. God bless the person who made the executive decision to do this.
HOLY CRAP ARE YOU KIDDING ME
HOW DARE SOMEONE DO SOMETHING THIS MARVELOUS!
Why are these not in my possession right now?
WHAAAAAT I don’t even wear makeup and I NEED THESE SO HARD.

Wow.
“King Sooper’s did not have glitter, vibrators, heels, butches or other femmes in this aisle. They did not have femme needs.”
Best submission yet.

There’s a lot to unpack when it comes to talking about cosmetics and gender. There are, as always, extremists, like the people who think that wearing any kind of cosmetics at all is a capitulation, and there are moderates. There are those who think, like a summertime letter writer to Dear Prudence, that nail polish is for girls only. Sadly, Prudence agreed with the letter writer, reiterating a common social attitude: That the only people wearing nail polish are women or ‘sexual deviants.’ There is room here only for women and crossdressers, and judging from Prudence’s transphobia, I think we can guess that she, like many other people, thinks that only cis women are allowed to wear nail polish without being slotted into the social deviance category.
My nail polish feels.
Goal: To create beautiful, frilly, lacey, poofy gowns with ATTACHED binders.
Because boys should also get to wear fabulous tulle dresses.

WANT. Oh man, best idea ever. When I want to wear a dress I usually have to go full femme because either the dress is cut for boobs and doesn’t look right without them, or the binder shows and looks tacky because it doesn’t match/blend.
I need to hit up my trans tailor friends and get out my sewing machine.
