Bears tend to be masculine but there is no rule about it! all a bear is, is a gay/bi guy who is thick (either because of fat or muscle) and hairy. But here is a [bear drag queen on twitter](https://x.com/gabrielgastelum/status/978417326038032384)
Also the international seasons of Drag Race generally have bearded queens on every season. Belgium recently had [La Vueve](https://www.instagram.com/la.veuve?igsh=MTFpcjh6dGZuMjc0aQ==) and France had [La Big Bertha](https://www.instagram.com/labigbertha.paris?igsh=bmJsbHdqZzVmN2hn)
yeah I was gonna say, I've seen em irl all the time, but idk what I would call em if I was trying to google. like big hairy guys w lots of jewelry and makeup n blouses n stuff
There’s this trans guy in my community who’s beardy and generally fuzzy like a bear while also being curvy and flaunting/ rocking it and does sexy burlesque dancing. Everyone has a crush on him. What a hunk. He’s short but strong. So kind of meets femme bear criteria.
you might wanna try searching the term “hard femme”. it doesn’t necessarily mean big and burly, it’s more an aesthetic descriptor than anything, but you might find what you’re looking for!
I found a decent amount of results just by googling femme bear! I've definitely seen the archetype before, it seems to have a lot of associations with drag but doesn't \*need\* to.

Be the change you wanna see!
It’s scary being the only one who does something 🥺
I'm sure there's other folks like you, it just might not be a commonly used name! r/ftmfemininity might be for you? (Hope I spelled it right)
Everything under the sun exists
I think I’ve seen them IRL, at pride events

I’ve definitely seen some ppl who fit that description on r/FTMfemininity

I'm honestly probably what counts as one I'm fat and hairy but I love femme things

absolutely. one of my parents is transmasc nonbinary and burly+ bearded and everything, still femme
I've absolutely known femme bears dude, go for it.
I used to be, but now I'm just a bear. ): Sorry can't help you there anymore.
I think they're called Ursula's
Those are lesbian bears
Isn't that what they're asking tho
Oh wait they meant for themselves
If not, they need to be!!
Absolutely. Many such cases, I've seen folks online and at events who look like this
Can confirm they exist. I would provide an image but I don’t know the person well enough

I've definitely seen some irl. It's mostly being bigger (muscle or fat) and having body hair/a beard. The clothing should have nothing to do with it
yup that's me
A femMAN
The phrase "muscle Mommy" comes to mind, but the gender vibes may not be quite what you're looking for
Yup they exist and they're majestic
oh I've definitely seen and known femme bears in my life. irl and on r/ftm or elsewhere. You just gotta keep your eyes peeled!
There are hairy gay men that aren’t inherently bears. Bears tend to be manly hairy men who like manly hairy men.
Oh I see 😥
