Femininity is a set of behaviours, presentations and roles which are culturally associated with being a woman and/or possessing female sex characteristics. People of any gender identity or sexual orientation can be feminine, but those who are assigned female at birth often experience societal pressure to be so. Transgender people who are feminine may be described as transfeminine. Femininity is socially constructed and varies over time and between cultures. In a gender binary, femininity is constructed in opposition to the concept of masculinity.
