I agree with your point. But a guy who wears a dress isn't inherently a femboy. Which I know isn't what you're saying but it can be interpreted as having that implication.

That is a good point, a person who wears a dress isn't necessarily a femboy. Some certainly are but plenty also aren't. It wasn't my intention to imply that wearing a dress makes someone a femboy and I can see how it enforces gender stereotypes to a deree. In the end a skirt or a dress is a piece of clothing, which inherently do not have gender and saying someone is a femboy for wearing those clothes isn't great if the end goal is to break away and be free from these stereotypes.
