Step Nine: Keep Knees Together, Like A Girl

Young lady, it is time to work on your deportment. Today we will start practicing how to sit.

How to sit on a low chair like a young lady? Focus on keeping your knees and thighs pressed together. The way you learn to do this is by placing your feet apart with your toes turned inward. This will help press your thighs together till it becomes second nature.

As a lady, always remember that there are lecherous men out in the world that will try to look up your skirt at any opportunity. You should, therefore, maintain modest decorum at all times.

This is the first step toward ladylike sitting that all girls learn before they begin the more formal Duchess Slant, Cambridge Cross and Standard Cross.

The focus will be on keeping your knees and thighs together whenever you sit.

The way you learn to do this is by placing your feet apart once you are sitting and point your toes inward. This will gently push your thighs closer together.

Remember to fold your hands and place them on your lap between your legs. Think of placing your hands as if you are holding a small clutch purse in your lap. Maintain this placement when your hands are not in use. This position will also weigh your skirt down and help maintain your modesty.

Your task will be to do this every time you sit for a full week so that pressing your thighs and continue to do so after it has become second nature for you.

If you are able to sit in a ladylike way every single time you sit for seven days you will be able to mark this task as complete.

If during the week you find yourself sitting in an unladylike manner with some space between your knees or knees and thighs there will be consequences.

The punishment will be adding an extra day to the task on your first mistake, two days on the second mistake, three days on the third mistake and so on. In other words, five mistakes will add 15 extra days onto this task (5+4+3+2+1).

The good news for girls in transition is that you can practice your knees together sit when you use the bathroom. If your tuck is good there will be nothing to trigger possible dysphoria.
