The process of removing or reducing feminine qualities; currently in the act of making something less feminine.
Present participle of defeminise (British spelling), using the '-ing' suffix to show ongoing action. Forms the continuous tense in British English.
The difference between 'defeminised' (already done) and 'defeminising' (currently happening) mirrors how we talk about puberty—'defeminising effects' describes changes that are happening right now in real-time.
Present participle; same pathological framing—implies ongoing removal/suppression of femininity rather than affirming identity.
Avoid; use person-centered language about what they are choosing or experiencing.

Empower through language that centers autonomy, not deficiency.
