Women's Language Features is a linguistic study that focuses on the language usage of women and is associated with gender equality in language. Lakoff proposed ten characteristics of the language used exclusively by women. These characteristics include using lexical hedges, tag questions, rising intonation on declarative, empty adjectives, precise colour terms, intensifiers, hypercorrect grammar, super polite forms, avoidance of strong swear words, and emphatic stress. Furthermore, this research uses a qualitative method. Based on the theory of Robin T. Lakoff, in this research, it was found that 9 out of 10 women's language feats used by Kelsa were trans, including 49 lexical hedges, 3 tag questions, 1 empty adjective, 32 intensifiers, 3 super polite speeches, 1 emphatic stress, 8 avoidance of strong swear words, 1 precise colour terms, and 3 rising intonations. In conclusion, Kelsa, who is transgender, is more careful when speaking like a woman in general. Kelsa often uses women's language features to show that she is really a woman.
