    Social constructionist approaches emphasize that individuals play an active role in constructing meanings of gender through social situations rather than passively receiving social influences. The Subjective Gender Identity model proposes that language is the primary way women construct meanings of gender, and that dimensions of subjective feminine experiences reflect a broader range of femininities beyond dominant white, middle-class norms, including those of African American women. Femme identity within lesbian communities has also been constructed uniquely, but femme individuals have felt their femininity and lesbian identities were not fully accepted or understood within LGBTQ networks due to experiences of discrimination, bullying, and feeling closeted.

    Social constructionist approaches emphasize that individuals play an lively role in

    building meanings of gender in specific social situations rather than actually being

    passive recipients of social affects (Wong & Rochlen, 2008). Guided with the aid of

    social constructionist attitude, we these days proposed the Subjective Gender reviews

    model as a brand-new theoretical version to apprehend girls’ struggles and stories

    (Wong et al., 2008). Consistent with this version, the use of language is the maximum

    conspicuous way in which ladies construct which means of gender. Moreover, unlike

    gender-role socialization perspective, the dimensions of subjective feminine

    experiences do not simply reflect the dominant white, middle class femininity norms, but

    also reflect a broader range of femininities that may be relevant to women from

    teenager groups (e.g., African American women).

    Femininity of Lesbians

    Femininity is commonly understood to refer to a collection of qualities or

    attributes associated with women in distinction from men, whose own qualities are

    signified by the antonym masculinity. A study by Levitt, Gerrish, & Hiestand (2003)

    specifically described the concept of femme identity as a uniquely lesbian construct, one

    that could only be fully understood ‘within a lesbian culture vernacular’. Femme have

    written extensively on masculine privileging within lesbian communities, which led many

    femme individuals to feel inauthentic as lesbians or feminists (Mishali 2014; Hoskin,

    2013; VanNewkirk, 2006). Blair and Hoskin (2015 and 2016) discuss femme identify

    individuals’ experiences of discrimination, ‘ridiculed or bullied’ and experiencing peer

    institution activities within the LGBTQ network due to their female expression.
    Participants described a unique approaches of identification development in which they

    felt their femininity to be unaccepted through their network. Many lesbians described

    feeling this difficulty of their identification to be ‘closeted’ at one factor in their

    identification improvement. those reports contribute to emotions of isolation, in the end

    impacting the mental properly-being of femme-diagnosed people (Mishali, 2004).

    Moreover, there's a growing frame of studies that demonstrates how female gender

    presentation in phrases of appearance “can be related to threat of adult sexual assault”

    while folks that present greater androgynously or masculine file fewer instances of

    sexual victimization (Lehavot, Molina, and Simoni 2012, 278). In assessment to

    patriarchal fashions of femininity, the femme lesbian “fails” to hold the sanctity of

    patriarchal femininity in her self-actualized expression of femininity, the item(s) of her

    sexual desires, and her resistance to male proper of get entry to the female.
