I can reach certain ideals quite easily, actually. Wearing the right clothes to be exploring the innards of a building is an ideal. Wearing the right clothes to make jaws drop, to let that certain boy I am dressed just for him. I've never hit my ideal maleself, and I've never hit my idealfemaleself, but there are a lot of selves and identities in here, not all of them gender-based or even vaguely related.
I make a hell of a perfect tomboy when I want to. And I make a hell of a perfect slut.

*chuckles* Yes, but I want my voice. Other femme ideals have theirs, they can talk in lilting tones about whatever springs to mind. There's a thread I noticed near the end of the essay of femininity paired with strength. I know some extremely stubborn and strong willed folks who are also absolutely what I'm trying to achieve. My unreachable femme ideal involves laughter. I don't think there's a self inside me that doesn't.
