It is usually--but not always--associated with a gay or queer sexual identity/sexuality. It is usually more accentuated and intentional than a straight female gender identity or gender presentation and often challenges standards of femininity through exaggeration, parody or transgression of gender norms.

v.) To actively embody a femme identity or gender presentation.

v.) think: drag performances by gay men dressed as women. OR a woman dolling herself up for a hot date--lipstick, heels and all--getting ready to go out with her girlfriend who doesn't really care if she dresses up, but who will be the subject of jealous glances all night because of it.
(colloquialism: femme it up!-- def.) make it more outrageously girly/ a more outrageous parody of culturally prescribed femininity)
adj.) think: that cute gayboy who wears a sparkly Princess tee-shirt that is two sizes too small, but he can rock it anyway. (OMG that shirt is soo femme!) OR that punk chick who may be wearing an outfit entirely from the little boy's section of Marshalls, but who looks more girly in a kid size 10 tee-shirt, ripped jeans and chucks than some women manage to do in their skirts and heels. (she's sure made that one femmed out tee-shirt, it just looks so different than on my nine year old nephew.)

Get the Fremember mug.Stone Femme (StoneFemme) is a term often used within lesbian communities.
To say someone is stone is to say that that person does not permit sexual touch, esp. penetrative, upon their person. In other words, if a stone person is having partnered sex they would be the pitching, not the catching, partner. (See Stone Butch)
In common usage, Stone Femme has two quite different definitions:
1) Femme-who-is-stone
2) femme-of-a-stone-butch*.
The grammatical parallel structure of stone femme / stone butch would logically indicate that the femme, like the butch, is uninterested in receiving sexual touch. Thus, femme-who-is-stone.
*The other possible meaning, femme-of-a-stone-butch, simultaneously implies a denial of the possibility that a femme might be stone (by supplanting the parallel term with an identical term with an opposite meaning), and if read the right way, implies a type of relationship ownership, as in "Mrs Stonebutch". This meaning is deprecated.

Mary was the kind of aggressive Stone Femme who made all the non-stone butches want to fling their legs in the air for her, although many of the bolder women had hopeless and unspoken dreams of one day returning the favour.

Dude: "Oh man, we walk in and my girl she says that she saw her ex-best friend there with someone's else's boyfriend and they were making out and she was afraid what she might do and would she have to tell her other friend who might be trying to date this dude because she'd be all busted up if she heard it from someone else first and found out she knew. It was a femergency, we HAD to leave."
Friend: "Too bad, the beer was great."

Get the femergency mug.A femme is a lesbian who subverts, conforms to and reclaims femininity for herself and other women exclusively. Contrary to popular beliefs, not all femmes are extremely feminine, wear makeup, have super long hair, etc. Femme is a lesbian exclusive term and the only requirement to be femme is to ba a lesbian and to subvert femininity for yourself and other women only!! Femmes arent useless, dainty and weak, we dont look straight and we dont do none of the work in a relationship!! Additionally, femmes dont have to date butches, femmes can date other femmes or non aligned lesbians! ♡
