as a transfem (nonbinary not girl tho) i hate how porn calls trans women "femboys" despite femboys being a completely different thing

when used to refer to trans women, femboy is a slur

an actual "femboy" is (very literally) a "feminine boy"; a male-identifying and at-least-somewhat-feminine-presenting person, often adhering to the typical style of femboy culture (thigh high socks, crop top, skirt or short shorts, fluffy hair that doesnt go past the chin), or often other queer styles

being a femboy is one of the ways a cishet person can be queer (other notable ways are being aromantic or intersex)

Thank you, glad I'm not crazy, seems the study should just broaden the label its using from trans porn to something else.

When I was young they called them shemales

See now that I always thought of as a derogatory term for a trans girl and not as a term for a femboy.

yeah thats another slur that porn likes to call us

trans porn intended for cis people is trash, while trans porn intended for queer people is really good; especially with how (in my opinion) queer culture has perfected bdsm
