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

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.

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 😓
