This sucks. Implies he can only like a trans woman if he's bi and not if he's straight.

What makes you think there's a trans girl involved? Could just be a femboy. Also, there's nothing wrong with bi dudes liking trans girls.

I suppose that's possible, but the lack of clarity on that point still makes me uncomfortable. And there's nothing wrong with bi dudes liking trans women, obviously. I am a bi dude who happens to be dating multiple trans women.

Goddamn, dude. Leave some genitals for the rest of us.

Because the idea that a man attracted to trans women could not be straight is transphobic. Trans women are women and a man attracted to women can be straight regardless of whether they're trans or cis.

So wait, are they a femboy and not a trans woman then?

[-] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

I think boils down to "similar optics, different gender identity", but I'm neither of these flavors so I really don't know. But for this joke, I think either works.

Calling for assistance: we need a ruling here. Halp.

i would say femboys are generally seen as not wanting to be female, just feminine. Same as how crossdressing doesn't make you trans, it just means you like crossdressing.

a term sometimes used synonymously with femboy is tomgirl, as a mirror to tomboy, and you wouldn't start calling tomboys trans men would you? They're people who identify as female but present less femininely.

Thank you for replying. This makes complete and total sense.

[-] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

so the feminine character is a femboy and not trans because of the bi flag in panel 2? also what's the difference between a femboy and tomgirl?
the more I read this thread the more confused I get 😓
