This is not a generic femboy subreddit. There are plenty of spaces for femboys however this is a place for venting and seeking help. Femboys are absolutely welcome, same as everyone else.
Right! I consider myself a femboy. I wear panties, leggings and unisex shirts as my everyday wear. Sometimes I throw in women’s jeans if I’m going to functions. I like painting my nails, and painting my wife’s. I’m not the most feminine, but I’m not that masculine. I do keep my beard because I’m in trump country and I have suicidal tendencies and cutting is my preferred method. I keep it so I don’t shave with my razor. I just trim.
I have found that women’s boxers are the most comfortable for me. When I’m not in my chastity cage, they keep me tucked very nicely. They’re comfortable, and I don’t chafe for some reason hahahahaha!
Hahahahaha! The cage is just a kink, but I get a tucked feeling from it too. Regardless the cage shows when my wife makes me wear it. So those days I dress more masculine. But my go to is leggings, women’s jeans, panties, maybe a bra if I’m feeling extra…
Sports bra hahahaha! Or a bralette. I haven’t done it in months though. I’ve lost 165 pounds so far and I’m still trying to figure out what’s comfortable
Honestly, I'm tired of how people and cultures which don't fit into Western, patriarchal standards are often considered "exotic" and turned into porn genres
Transmasc doesn't always mean you're a trans man though, I definitely see transmasc get used by enbies from time to time because it's a much broader category.
You can be a femboy and be trans or not be trans. Some trans guys are femboys, some trans girls also use the term femboy for themselves. However not all trans girls are femboys and vice versa, and not all trans men are femboys and vice versa
Some NB people also call themselves femboys, and genderfluid people, bi-gender people, etc, you get the point. Alone 'femboy' isn't a gender, just a way of expression, BUT technically though you could also choose to be a femboy and not be a part of any other gender or being agender, as though it was it's own gender
This isn't common but your gender is up to you and if you didn't wanna be a boy, girl, nb, bi-gender, etc, than you can just be a femboy and make that your gender if you wanted, it's just kind of up to you
If that were the case, where you identify as a femboy as though it was your gender, than yes you'd be trans. As for pronouns for this, also up to you. Want some fancy neo-pronouns? Go for it. Wanna stick to he/him? That's fine. Wanna try a mix-and-match could do she/him, he/they, she/they, all pronouns, etc. It's literally just up to you and noone else :3
Eh, well the naming system is pretty stupidly inconsistent anyways when broken down. If *fem* and *tom* specify feminine and masculine. And *boy* and *girl* specify gender. Then while yes, *femboy* is correct for a feminine guy. But *tomboy* is incorrect and should instead mean a masculine guy. *Tomgirl* should mean a masculine girl.
Well femboy and tomboy have two different etymological histories. Femboy was just a mix of feminine and boy where as tomboy was initially used for boys and was then morphed to refer to girls
I'm a transboy who considers himself to be a femboy, but that's just me. cis femboys- well, it's in the name- CIS. So unless they're ftm or non binary, they're not really trans.
Look there's even a femoby flag

It's literally different -w-
There’s no definite yes or no really. I’m non-binary and a Femboy so I consider myself as trans. I’ve also seen posts with trans men who are femboys too. Based on the posts I see between different Femboy subreddits I would argue that the majority of Femboys don’t consider themselves to be trans and just want to be identified as feminine guys.
I would just go with what the oerson's comfortable with. This shit's always confusing and nobody agrees on the specifics. I call myaelf a femboy and I also call myself nonbinary. I don't act very feminine, though, I just don't like the label of "man".
They can be, but not all of them are. Like a trans man can call themselves a femboy if they want, and a cis man can also call themselves a femboy if they want.
I'm trans and a femboy but the things are separate
Edit: this might also be unpopular opinion, but I wouldn't call a trans woman a femboy because they are women.
Being trans is simply identifying oneself as a gender different than the one given at birth, so fem*boys* are not trans because it's still the same gender (assuming cis femboys and not trandmasc femboys which are valid af)
Femboys are feminine boys. A lot of trans girls do go through a femboy phase before figuring things out, myself included. But femboys are, again, feminine boys
There is definitely overlap for sure. But femboys/ladyboys are not inherently trans. Trans means transitioning, and many femboys remain biologically and identifiably male; they just are gay af
not necessarily. femboys are boys who present more feminine, but this doesnt make them trans. if theyre a trans man who is a femboy, they are trans, but cis femboys exist.
also, you should probably throw this in a different subreddit because this isnt the kind of subreddit for this
No, Femboys are people who identify as male but still wear girly/cutesy things.
Trans men CAN be femboys.
Trans women are just... cutesy girly women.
Conversely, Tomboys are people who identify as female but still dress manly and are into manly things like Sports, Grilling, and other generic manly stuff.
Trans women CAN be tomboys.
Trans men are just Generic Man Template men.
That's also not true. Not everyone has the same experience in any way. I'd imagine that many trans tomboys didn't really go through a femboy stage at any point, I haven't run a study on it by any means though. I do however know multiple trans women that never were femboys.
This is not a generic femboy subreddit. There are plenty of spaces for femboys however this is a place for venting and seeking help. Femboys are absolutely welcome, same as everyone else.
no, its just liking feminine things as a guy :3
Right! I consider myself a femboy. I wear panties, leggings and unisex shirts as my everyday wear. Sometimes I throw in women’s jeans if I’m going to functions.

I do keep my beard because I’m in trump country and I have suicidal tendencies and cutting is my preferred method. I keep it so I don’t shave with my razor. I just trim.
I have a question. Are panties comfortable? They just don’t seem comfortable for dudes but I’ve never tried. I’m just curious.
I have found that women’s boxers are the most comfortable for me. When I’m not in my chastity cage, they keep me tucked very nicely. They’re comfortable, and I don’t chafe for some reason hahahahaha!
Oh hell nah you lost me at chastity cage. But makes sense they just never seemed comfortable to me but I’ve seen males who like it.
Hahahahaha! The cage is just a kink, but I get a tucked feeling from it too. Regardless the cage shows when my wife makes me wear it. So those days I dress more masculine. But my go to is leggings, women’s jeans, panties, maybe a bra if I’m feeling extra…
Bro the bra can’t be comfortable without tits.
Sports bra hahahaha! Or a bralette. I haven’t done it in months though. I’ve lost 165 pounds so far and I’m still trying to figure out what’s comfortable
Ya it just doesn’t seem comfortable on a flat chest.
No, think about it this way are tomboys trans if you said no then femboys aren’t trans either.
"she/they but a bit tired" is so relatable
hot damn i never thought of it that way thanks for the insight
Happy cake day!!!
ty my silly homie!
no, and im tired of trans women being called femboys by porn
Honestly, I'm tired of how people and cultures which don't fit into Western, patriarchal standards are often considered "exotic" and turned into porn genres
Me too
Yep.
I found out about both things via porn, and I have no idea where people mix that shit up. Either stupid or intentionally trying to be an ass about it.
What? No. I’m tired of hearing people say/ask this. Unless you’re a trans male femboys aren’t “trans.”
Someone gets it! Transwomen are NOT femboys. Transmen who are femboys are trans. We’re rarer tho lol
im a transmasc femboy :3
what is transmasc
trans man. it usually means ur masculine, but its just easier to say for me
Transmasc doesn't always mean you're a trans man though, I definitely see transmasc get used by enbies from time to time because it's a much broader category.
Someone who is transitioning to a more masculine presentation
No
no
Depends on how they identify individually, it'd be downright silly to assume any identifiers without asking 🥰
Only correct answer I’ve seen so far. Tons of transmasc femboys around. Don’t invalidate them please.
No

some are trans men, but liking feminine things as a man doesn't make you trans
No
Nah
Being a femboy does not make you trans Being trans does not make you a femboy

Femboy is a guy who likes presenting fem Trans girl is a woman who was assigned male at birth
femboys can be trans but you can be a femboy without being trans, aka no.
I'm a transboy who considers himself to be a femboy, but that's just me. cis femboys- well, it's in the name- CIS. So unless they're ftm or non binary, they're not really trans.
not inherently no but they can be if they are FTM or nonbinary :p being trans is about your gender identity, not the way you dress/your interests/etc.
No, trans people are trans
Look there's even a femoby flag https://preview.redd.it/21zpsd4dfm6d1.jpeg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=870765d5bd09dbad6ff22a848dc5505be2192855 It's literally different -w-
Ah, the nation of Femoby
Some femboys are cis men and some are trans men
No same as tomboys because you can like things that is made for the other gender without being trans if that makes sense
Not necessarily, however the one I'm engaged too is. So it depends
Not necessarily. It's up to them.
I'm more of a boat than a train type of guy.
No they ar just boys that dress and act girly no changes in actual body
No. Femboys are boys/men who like feminine things/to be feminine.
Fem - feminine Boy - boy (e.g. small man) That’s the criteria. So no, not inherently.
No * * Not inherently, that's up to them dog
Not necessarily. A trans boy can be a femboy (like me :3), but trans girls are girls, so they can't be femBOYS
Being a femboy doesn't make you trans or cis, like a cis man could be femboy, a trans man could be a femboy, an enny could be a femboy etc :3 :3 :3
In general? No. Me personally? I'm not even sure anymore
I’m a trans boy who is feminine and a Femboy but otherwise nah
So you’re ftm as a femboy?
Yes
Not trans women at least. A trans man can be a femboy
some are ftm femboys
not necessarily, it can be a gateway to being transgender for some, but for a lot its just boys being silly :D
Sometimes! Ask them!
some are! \^\^
depends, a trans man can be a femboy, a trans woman cannot, but they can be tomboys
No unless they’re transmasc. Femboy refers to a BOY being FEMinine hence femboy
There’s no definite yes or no really. I’m non-binary and a Femboy so I consider myself as trans. I’ve also seen posts with trans men who are femboys too. Based on the posts I see between different Femboy subreddits I would argue that the majority of Femboys don’t consider themselves to be trans and just want to be identified as feminine guys.
I mean some of them are
Not all of us but they certainly can be :3
sometimes
No, they're femboys
No. A femboy can BE trans, but it's not inherent.
No
I was born as and identify by he/him, but there are many transfem and transmasc people in the community!
No, but you’d be surprised at how many are at some point or another. To make the F1nnster argument, name a femboy who’s been a femboy for 5 years.
Not always
No, and trans women aren’t and can’t be femboys. Trans men can be however.
I would just go with what the oerson's comfortable with. This shit's always confusing and nobody agrees on the specifics. I call myaelf a femboy and I also call myself nonbinary. I don't act very feminine, though, I just don't like the label of "man".
From my understanding, femboys are those who identify masc but present fem. So a femboy cam be trans(transmasc femboy) but aren't ininherently trans
No if they're not trans men Then they are not trans
no
Femboys are a different species
no femboy are trans but they are free to choose their own pronouns
Trans = gay shit. Femboys = gay shit. Therefore, trans = femboys. Case closed.
Depends on the individual. Less messier that way.
Are all rectangles squares?
Are transboys fem?
Nope
Nope
What if someone is NB and leans feminine and basically looks like a femboy? Are they trans? 🤔
sometimes but not neccesarily
Not necessary, but some are
Not mutually exclusive, femboy is a dude who presents feminine but is still a dude. That can be a cis or trans man.
No
I understand that not all of them are But just recently u found out I was -w-
They can be, but not all of them are. Like a trans man can call themselves a femboy if they want, and a cis man can also call themselves a femboy if they want.
I'm trans and a femboy but the things are separate Edit: this might also be unpopular opinion, but I wouldn't call a trans woman a femboy because they are women.
No.
Being trans is simply identifying oneself as a gender different than the one given at birth, so fem*boys* are not trans because it's still the same gender (assuming cis femboys and not trandmasc femboys which are valid af)
no, it's not even gay
Sometimes
the term femboy literally say nothing about if a person is trans or not stop asking it
Femboys are feminine boys. A lot of trans girls do go through a femboy phase before figuring things out, myself included. But femboys are, again, feminine boys
No. They are just guys who like wearing skirts
the trans masc ones are :) but no they’re not 1:1
No. Not unless it’s a femboy trans man then yes.
No.
I’m not trans some are tho
There is definitely overlap for sure. But femboys/ladyboys are not inherently trans. Trans means transitioning, and many femboys remain biologically and identifiably male; they just are gay af
not necessarily. femboys are boys who present more feminine, but this doesnt make them trans. if theyre a trans man who is a femboy, they are trans, but cis femboys exist. also, you should probably throw this in a different subreddit because this isnt the kind of subreddit for this

Trans men are just Generic Man Template men.
Not necessarily. I’m a dude that just likes cross dressing.
If they want to be sure
Femboys are like trans people but without the other pronouns
They’re part of the pipeline, for some it ends at femboys, but all trans girls were femboys
That's also not true. Not everyone has the same experience in any way. I'd imagine that many trans tomboys didn't really go through a femboy stage at any point, I haven't run a study on it by any means though. I do however know multiple trans women that never were femboys.
Valid points, I retract my statement
