Today’s episode explores the journey of self-discovery and gender identity, particularly the experience as a transfemme individual. It differentiates between identifying as a “trans woman” and “transfemme,” with the latter described as a return to an inherent, ancient feminine force rather than a linear transition into a societal role. The author of the source article, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, reflects on a past life where their strength and intellect were recognised in traditionally masculine spaces, contrasted with the invisibility experienced after embracing softness and authenticity. This personal narrative is intertwined with a broader critique of patriarchy’s historical suppression of the Divine Feminine and an affirmation of femmeness as a persistent, foundational presence akin to the enduring memory of stone. Dr. Hoerricks ultimately advocates for liberation and a recalibration of understanding gender as an essential, non-performative orientation.Here’s the link to the source article: https://open.substack.com/pub/autside/p/the-long-return-on-femmeness-stoneLet me know what you think.The AutSide is a reader-supported publication.
