This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I thought a femboy was specifically AMAB who presents more femininely.

They're saying in this case, seemingly, he was born male, but a trans femboy can exist.

That makes sense, thanks.

In short: Femboy is about presenting as a very feminine man, men doing that can include trans men.

Slightly longer: It's why there are different categories for sex, gender assigned at birth, gender identity and gender expression. A femboy would identify male and express feminine. The opposite is a tomboy, somebody who identifies as female and expresses in a masculine manner, both are not necessarily linked to the individuals sex and/or gender assigned at birth.

Trans refers to a different gender identity than the gender assigned at birth and doesn't come into play here.
