Femboys are boys who dress, act, and/or look feminine.
Trans girls are girls who were assigned male at birth and identify as girls.
I hope this clears up any misconceptions on the subject.
Sorry to confuse the issue, but I'm an AMAB enby that fits both and neither of these categories. =3
Ruka is probably my favorite trans character in media for the fact she tried to alter time to "become a girl". Someone just needed to let her know about the magic of estrogen
Maybe she just wanted more than what Estrogen and bottom surgery could provide her?
Maybe, it just seemed to me that she didn't consider or know about the possibility of transitioning
It's possible I guess, maybe she also just didn't want to wait for changes that would never be as good as if it had always been (yesterday is way faster than 2-3 years after all), and also when you change history, you change all people's memories too.
And here i am, waiting on y'all to drop the sauce so i can binge content about this character 😜
Steins gate! It's one of my favorite TV shows of all time
Oof, i tried to get into that one years ago but for some reason couldn't; think it might've been the animation style?? I should give it another shot at some point.
Edit; also any sauce for the top right girly? Not often i see an art style include bags under eyes

I don't think Astolfo is a femboy cause they never refer to themselves as a boy and the japanese games use neutral pronouns. Big non-binary energy.
Maybe, I don't know. He certainly does give off femboy/femby energy. Maybe he might be both.
femby
Learned a new word today, I'll just paste the definition for others to learn :)
Femby, also known as femenby, finby, fenby, or finenby, is a gender identity for those who identify as feminine and non-binary.

I thought there was a scene where he acknowledges he was a boy and just wears the clothes he wants?
Grand Order uses they/them and their gender is [Redacted] in the stats.
Things change, eggs crack, etc
Plus they're not real
astolfo is real in our hearts, shut up!!
You should get that checked out by a doctor
am i not supposed to have anime people inside my organs? i think i did something wrong
That's not an uncommon thing for that kinda archetype. There is a reason there was another word for it back in the day.
You decide on who you are and anybody telling you who you are can ef right off.
I'm a gender fluid trans girl except on Femboy Friday when I'm a femboy. My pronouns depend on the day of the week, but I always am okay with she/her.
What pronouns do you use on logsday?
Assassination classroom femboy, excellent choice.
Yeah but he was a male forced to dress as a girl by his Mom (and on one occasion, the classmates). I don't think he would want to be included as a femboy.
Yeah, that's why I found his inclusion odd. There are a plethora of better choices of actually femboys who dress and act like girls uncoerced.
Love em both though
All I see are cuties <3
I agree that they're all very cute, but still the differences should be acknowledged and respected.
oh no - "learn the difference" god that phrase still makes me mad
Sorry if I offended anyone. I was actually very upset when I posted this because someone had been arguing that I'm an egg and trans girl in denial and that femboys are just trans girls who haven't gotten HRT and bottom surgery.
They said a lot more evil shit that I don't want to repeat. So I felt the need to make this post here and on !femboy@lemmy.blahaj.zone and I was kind of still upset when I came up with the title.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with an 🥚joke every now and then, but you shouldn’t argue with someone about their gender! That’s a very unsilly thing to do D:
A single egg joke now and then, when it's very clear it's a joke, might be okay as like an in-joke, but if everyone says it every so often then OP's gonna see that joke from someone constantly.
If you hear an ironic joke too often, it starts to lose its irony, and in this case that would probably lead to feelings of invalidation. So don't make the joke towards people you don't know.

One of these is someone being forced to dress as the opposite gender because their mom is a nutcase btw.
And there’s nothing wrong with being either! Both are adorable :D
i.. disagree? surely the only difference is what they identify as?
sounds pretty shitty to only let people qualify as trans when they've actually transitioned..
That's not the message or takeaway from this post, it is that boys can be feminine without being trans.
right but then why define being trans as having transitioned? why not just say
"femboys are boys who dress, act, and/or look feminine. Trans girls are girls who were assigned male at birth and identify as female"
Transition can refer to a lot of different things, not just medical transition. if you start to ask others to call you by different pronouns for example that's a form of social transition even if you've only chosen to come out to a few people
edit: To clarify I'm not saying you need to have even done that step to be valid as a trans person, it's just likely that no one would know you're trans unless you've at least taken that step
That is a better one and I should've written that from the beginning.
surely the only difference is what they identify as?
sounds like you already know the difference, where's the disagreement? dudes can be fem without being trans gals
oh so pink and blue are femboy, while brown and gray are girls
