The practice, especially in femdom of switching the gender role of a male submissive. Also known as "sissification".
It is usually achieved through cross-dressing, as a visible sign. The costume is often very domestic, suggestive of servitude and out-dated, distancing the sub from acceptable feminine clothing. This is also an opportunity for ageplay, further diminishing the sub's status.
Naming may also be employed. A sub may be given a female name, designated as "a good girl", or given as a name an explicitly female insult, such as "slut" or "whore".
Hardcore feminization may also mean being the recipient of anal sex.
