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.
Thank you for replying. This makes complete and total sense.
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 😓
