To be clear I'm not saying that a femboy can or should "reclaim" the word for their general use. My intent was to state that if someone (who, due to their identity, may well suffer the same or similar nature of verbal/emotional/physical abuse as transfem folk, including the use of the same pejorative) is routinely called the T-slur due to their identity and presentation, they are, in my opinion, totally entitled to use the word specifically in calling out the use of it against them.

I understand your trail of thought. I am not necessarily decrying it, hence why I mentioned it would be "controversial," which, well, we have seen play out in this comment section as a whole.

I would not condemn a Femboy for an annoyed clap-back at somebody for it, but I also would not blame a transfem in earshot to believe the Femboy was a hostile packmate.

I agree with what you've said here!
