The term en femme is used in the
transgender community, usually by male
crossdressers, to describe wearing feminine clothing or expressing a feminine personality. The term is derived from the
French, meaning literally "as a woman". Most crossdressers also use a femme (
female) name whilst en femme.Many transgender organizations hold en femme events, including holidays and cruises (such as the annual
Tri-Ess "Holiday En Femme").Many male cross-dressers correspondingly refer to their usual male presentation (boy-mode) as being en homme. "In drab" has also come to be used among some crossdressers in this way.
