Learn the Difference

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.

One of these is someone being forced to dress as the opposite gender because their mom is a nutcase btw.
- Wait which one?
  
  The bottom left one

oh so pink and blue are femboy, while brown and gray are girls

im both
- get rekt

Sorry to confuse the issue, but I'm an AMAB enby that fits both and neither of these categories. =3
- All Males Are Bisexual?
  
  Assigned male at birth
  
  🙏
- You're just too awesome B)
  
  Hehee, thanks, but I'm just being me 😺

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
- at the same time, I hate that so much of her motivation seems to be "I wanna date the MC and the MC is straight, so I must become a girl."
  Steins;Gate is honestly so good I often forget it's basically a harem VN. It's not like I should be that surprised one of the girls is written that way, but I wish the Ruka arc focused more on how she felt about her own self and identity, rather than her infatuation with the MC.

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

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?
  
  login/logout
  
  On Caturday mew/mewth
  
  We musn't speak it's name, lest we be errata'd

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

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:
  
  thads vrri reasonbl... i jus-- i jus still really dun lik that phrase..
  it sounds so like - "yea - im important, learn about me" which i rlli dun lik--
  bt is fine <3 u did no harm <3 <3

And there’s nothing wrong with being either! Both are adorable :D

All I see are cuties <3
- I agree that they're all very cute, but still the differences should be acknowledged and respected.

Both are sexy as fuck
- not at all disguised bisexuals, let us assemble ✨

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"
- 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
  
  the disagreement is that i think people don't need to transition to be trans, they just need to identify as a different gender than they were assigned at birth.
