LinkOnce again, not policing what you or other people say.
This is just my personal opinion/preference.

Link"Femboy" is a term usually describing feminine men. Over the years, it's been less and less claimed by trans men who've become comfortable feeling in touch with their feminine side.
Cisgender femboys, I don't really know much about so I'm sharing this through the trans man perspective. (I formerly identified as strictly he/him for three years, now I just go by whatever and identify as Non-Binary, but I still have a right to this opinion because I myself have been fetishized.)

LinkMore and more I see Cis(sometimes Het) men call any small or petite man a femboy, and yes it could be a term to describe a feminine man, it's now just very fu/cking fetish-y. When I usually see someone being called a femboy, it's almost always in an objectifying way now.
It makes me feel just as uncomfortable when a woman uses it, because it just feels... weird.
I have my own personal stories with being called one, and it's always by either a woman or a man. (Almost always cis.)
When I first rode the bus, this person asked me my name, pronouns, and gender. (He/They at the time.)
And they just said, "Oh, so you're a femboy!"
That's the only story that made me the least uncomfortable to share.

LinkOnce again I don't care if you identify with the label, or use the label, it just makes /ME/ uncomfortable.
I see no reason you'd have to use that terminology on my account, unless you were to describe a character of mine, or me. (That makes me uncomfortable.)

LinkI made this because I got called a femboy on disc again by a kid I knew from MIDDLE SCHOOL and haven't seen them since then, and they still be doin' this shit :|
hi adding onto this: this terms hurts and affects both trans men and women, because trans men being described as feminine, while not strictly harmful, is rather fetishistic if the person is not comfortable. and trans women are women, not feminine men. trans men are not your "uwu fem softboys", they're grown adults/mature teens. stop. infantalizing trans ppl
