Welcome to femcel memes. A place where anybody can post memes that fit the vibe.

Warning: We have a tendency to post things that may at times come from a self-deprecating perspective or things that are funny coming from another queer person. This space will always be a safe place for transfems, non-binary people, people with a feminine gender expression (GNC or otherwise) or anybody else in the LGBT Community to come together and share about our experiences but we truly feel that laughing about the sometimes silly and embarrassing parts the queer experience can help bring us together. We never mean offense or harm in anything posted but rather they are satirical takes coming from queer people.

A note about 'Egging': Our community is mostly made up of transfem individuals, and as such most memes posted will be posted with the intention of having a transfem perspective. However, regardless of gender identity, all feminine presenting individuals are welcome here. Whether that means you're NB, GNC, transmasc, or any other identity, you are welcome here. It is not our intention or goal to invalidate these identities. If something makes you uncomfortable, please feel free to report the post and I will address your concerns on an individual level. For more information regarding the problems with 'Egg-culture', please see Here.

Love Y'all and thank you for following this community

I've figured out Iwas trans around a year ago. I've more accepted it 6-8 months ago, and fully embraced the identity a few months ago.

I feel like I'm able to see myself as a woman more often(presenting or not; probably the longer hair) but I find it hard to consciously switch names and pronouns since I feel like I still very much present masc¿and don't look so femme, even if I want to.

It's like, it feels somewhat in-genuine, you know? Deep, deep down, I want to be her, but also I don't want the confrontation of, "you don't look like a 'her'."

I just need some advice/encouragement. My therapist has asked multiple times if they should switch name/pronouns, but it's so difficult face-to-face and not socially out.

Help plz?

Edit: I'm not sure how this ended up in the meme community 😅 I posted it late at night, but I thought I got /c/mtf instead

I didn't really get comfortable with it before changing. I only got used to it a while after changing.

Before and after, there were feelings of guilt, shame, and fear. And the imposter syndrome on top of that.

I would like to encourage you to try with your therapist and if you're privileged enough to have them, trusted friends. Those are helpful spaces to make you more comfortable.

Imposter syndrome! Yes! That's what I'm afraid of. I may have to take my therapist up on that offer. I haven't because I just don't feel fem enough, but I guess, really, lots of people do about various things.

Such a mood. We all feel it from time to time. It's important to remember that your thoughts don't define who you are. I can't count how many times I got hung up on an intrusive thought that spiralled into just straight up attacking and being transphobic to myself. Respecting yourself is tough, but it's possible. Still learning this myself, tbh. Heh. But knowing who you are can take time. Understanding ourselves doesn't happen overnight. ^^

Just remember that it's important to feel comfortable with ones self. We're all gonna experiment here and there with things until we feel most comfortable. We're here for each other, and if you feel like you aren't fem enough than keep on femmin' until it's no longer an argument! Can't argue with straight up facts, gurl. -w- hehe~

I hope you get everything you want and more. 🫂❤️
