This thread is so huge, that it is hard to find if this has been talked about here or not.
What exactly is a "femboy"? Is it similar to a "tomboy" for girls that do not follow gender stereotypes? Is it a male who likes "girly" things or acts effeminate? Is this an actual cultural movement or just a term used for boys and men who do not fit the gender mold? Do they crossdress like troons, or is it mostly just how they behave?
Digging deeper into the rabbit hole, are effeminate boys and men also becoming extinct as they are being absorbed into the troon collective; much like how the tomboy-to-troon pipeline is causing said women to troon out at an alarming rate?
originally, just like tomgirl, femboy was for men who were stereo typically feminine, using clothes (eyerings, slender clothing or makeup, normally to complement their figure, not to be a woman, they normally used male clothes who looked feminine rather than female clothes) or their personal interests (dressup, more relationship based interests, dancing, fashion, cooking etc.).
Right now femboy means groomed by trannies, some dudes are trying to say the term in his general form, but it's too tainted to be used effectively.
As for the other question, yes and it's worse, atleast tomboys have fathers which can help them grow naturally, tomgirls normally are shunned and they can get easily groomed by a tranny, even more when they try to tell them lies about being younger or not being cared.
There's still hope tho, tomboys don't get transed if they have good parents, the same happens with femboys, even if a lot of them hide their interests because they get shunned because of their tastes.
A good example of the spectrum of tomgirls was captain beefheart and his magic band.
(Antennae Jimmy Semens: Pure tomgirl (Feminine appearance, Femenine interests)
(Zoot Horn Rollo: Physical tomgirl (Feminine appearance, Masculine interests)
(Drumbo: Interest tomgirl (Masculine appearance, Feminine interests)
Drumbo was so feminine they made a song for him recalling that, he liked tap dancing, which was seen as the most feminine dance at the time.
This was picked by trannies, which misunderstand how homosexuality was seen as being a woman born in a man body, this song is normally believed to be pro tranny, even thought it's based in john french and the fact that he has to accept himself (his feminine interests or his homosexuality), saying to him that when he can go to heaven (drumbo is christian) god will never hate him, but understand him, trannies ironically force stereotypes and believe that it's a lesser man because he liked to be feminine, something which validates the stereotypes or feelings of john french at the time (John French is Drumbo).
This is a reason trannies are the worse of the worse, they attack other people by being different and they don't even know that they are doing it.
