femininizing
Making more womanly
Femininizing means making more feminine in appearance, quality, or character.
Medical contexts describe hormone treatments or surgeries that develop feminine physical traits: femininizing hormone therapy.
The term also applies to broader changes: femininizing a wardrobe, femininizing the workplace.
The process itself is feminization.
