In this video essay I’m exploring the term fem/femme. Many cultures have their own version of a feminine queer gender expression, but this video is specifically about the term “femme”. 2. Femme Theory is a large and complex academic field, which would benefit from a video on its own. Especially its large focus on “doing femme”, more than “being femme”. This video is about Femme as an identity, so I choose to focus on the parts of femme theory that also are more focused on identity. 4.There are deep and interesting discussions to be had on a racial as well as class perspectives on Femme, more so than the short parts I've included. My individual standpoint as white, western and middle-class has of course affected the perspective lifted. If you have tips on literature that broaden this perspective please share those in the comment field and let's continue the education together. 👠💋🔪 MY QUALITATIVE STUDY Thank you to every 109 of you that participated with your thoughts and feelings. I could never have done this video without you. I got the participants from queer Facebook-, Reddit-, Youtube-, Tumblr- and Discord-groups. The majority of the participants were from the USA (34%) and Sweden (18%), but I received answers from over 20 countries from Europe, North America, South America and Asia. 70 % were cis women, 19 % Non-binary, 5 % trans women, 2 % trans men, 2 % cis men and 3 % other. 62 % were lesbians, 17% Bisexual, 7% Queer, 4% Straight, 3% Gay (male), 3% Asexual, 2% Pansexual, and 3% other. 40 % were 18-24 years old, 29% were 25-29, 11 % were 30-39, 9% were 40-49, 2 % were 50+ and 9% were under 18. Out of all of these participants, 80% identified as Femme, 25% did not and 7% said it was complicated. My goal with the survey was never to make larger conclusions on for example age/country but to collect lived experiences of being Femme. I’ve chosen quotes that define Femme in different ways and I’ve tried my absolute best to choose quotes that show a wide variety of being Femme. Despite this, since the material grew very large, there are of course aspects I choose not to include. For example many femmes said that being soft, caring and nurturing was part of their identity. I did not choose to exclude this out of any underlying motif, I simply focused on other aspects and tried to keep this video somewhat “short”. 👠💋🔪 SOURCES Hoskin, R. A. (2022).
