feminizing
Making more womanly
Feminizing means making more feminine in appearance, characteristics, or qualities.
Medical contexts use it for hormone treatments or procedures that develop female secondary sex characteristics: feminizing hormone therapy.
More broadly, it describes any process that adds feminine qualities: a feminizing effect on the workplace culture.
The opposite is masculinizing.
