I identify as "femme". I don't use this term to fit in, I use it because it is where I fit. As long as I can remember this is where I fit. Even when I was a little girl it was in my blood. In my opinion, I don't believe that it is a matter of "needing" this label, but I guess I would more describe it as a way to tell another about me in one word. I know that there are many varieties of every label but I don't find it important for myself to break it down any further. I am femme, proud and own everything that the word stands for.
