Why “transfemininity” is a great word

TRANSFEMININITY — [Noun] The quality, state, or experience of being transfeminine. From the English prefix trans- (meaning "across, beyond, through") combined with a variant of femininity (from Latin femina, "woman"). Unlike "transfeminism" (which denotes a political and theoretical movement) or an unmarked "femininity" (which often assumes a cisgender context), transfemininity is the lived, personal embodiment of a feminine self consciously arrived at. It is the quiet relief of a reflection finally aligned, the specific weight of a chosen name in the mouth, and the learned cadence of a voice finding its true register—a testament to identity not as a given inheritance, but as a deliberate and hard-won becoming.
