    as a transfem (nonbinary not girl tho) i hate how porn calls trans women “femboys” despite femboys being a completely different thing

    when used to refer to trans women, femboy is a slur

    an actual “femboy” is (very literally) a “feminine boy”; a male-identifying and at-least-somewhat-feminine-presenting person, often adhering to the typical style of femboy culture (thigh high socks, crop top, skirt or short shorts, fluffy hair that doesnt go past the chin), or often other queer styles

    being a femboy is one of the ways a cishet person can be queer (other notable ways are being aromantic or intersex)
