While the concept of primary femininity advances our understanding of the girl's developmental experience, a number of contradictions and problematic assumptions are at the present time contained within this concept. I propose that we use the phrase "primary sense of femaleness" to refer to the girl's earliest sense of self deriving from the mental representation of her body. In addition, I argue that the concepts of a primary sense of femaleness and of a bisexual matrix are not mutually exclusive; an early sense of self located in a female body can co-exist with the fantasy of potential unlimited by gender. Finally, I examine the role of the mother as ego ideal for the girl.
虽然原初女性气质的概念增进了我们对女孩发展经历的理解，但目前这个概念包含了一些矛盾和有问题的假设。我提议我们用“原初女性意识”这个短语来指代女孩最早的自我意识，这种意识源自她对自己身体的心理表征。此外，我认为原初女性意识和双性基质的概念并非相互排斥；位于女性身体中的早期自我意识可以与不受性别限制的潜能幻想共存。最后，我考察了母亲作为女孩自我理想典范的角色。
